+     *
+     * @description
+     * HTML5 or text input with date validation and transformation. In browsers that do not yet support
+     * the HTML5 date input, a text element will be used. The text must be entered in a valid ISO-8601
+     * date format (yyyy-MM-dd), for example: `2009-01-06`. Will also accept a valid ISO date or Date object
+     * as model input, but will always output a Date object to the model.
+     *
+     * @param {string} ngModel Assignable angular expression to data-bind to.
+     * @param {string=} name Property name of the form under which the control is published.
+     * @param {string=} min Sets the `min` validation error key if the value entered is less than `min`.
+     * @param {string=} max Sets the `max` validation error key if the value entered is greater than `max`.
+     * @param {string=} required Sets `required` validation error key if the value is not entered.
+     * @param {string=} ngRequired Adds `required` attribute and `required` validation constraint to
+     *    the element when the ngRequired expression evaluates to true. Use `ngRequired` instead of
+     *    `required` when you want to data-bind to the `required` attribute.
+     * @param {string=} ngChange Angular expression to be executed when input changes due to user
+     *    interaction with the input element.
