Change timepicker input to string?

[damiandennis]

Any chance of changing the ngModel input to a string, This makes the most sense since that is usually how it will translate from a database without any extra work. The problem I am faced with is linked below with Dates being generated in a getter causes the browser to crash.

found a workaround if I define a new Date() as a property in the class it avoids the problem.
