Getter and Setter of Model object in Angular 4

How can I make getter and setter work in my model class?

My goal is to calculate integer value of the selected day when input, containing the date, updated. I was going to do it in setter, but Angular 4 ignores setter and getter of my model.

My model class:

export class MyModel {
    @Input('date')
    get date(): String {
        console.log('Getting date');
        ...
    }

    set date(val) {
        console.log('Setting date: ' + val);
        ...
    }
}

My template:

...
<input class="form-control" name="dp" [(ngModel)]="model.date">
...

But getter and setter don't work. What am I missing?

The way you declare the date property as an input looks incorrect but its hard to say if it's the only problem without seeing all your code. Rather than using @Input('date') declare the date property like so: private _date: string;. Also, make sure you are instantiating the model with the new keyword. Lastly, access the property using regular dot notation.

Check your work against this example from https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/classes.html :

let passcode = "secret passcode";

class Employee {
    private _fullName: string;

    get fullName(): string {
        return this._fullName;
    }

    set fullName(newName: string) {
        if (passcode && passcode == "secret passcode") {
            this._fullName = newName;
        }
        else {
            console.log("Error: Unauthorized update of employee!");
        }
    }
}

let employee = new Employee();
employee.fullName = "Bob Smith";
if (employee.fullName) {
    console.log(employee.fullName);
}
