ngx-bootstrap Datepicker Format Value

Source: https://github.com/valor-software/ngx-bootstrap/issues/868

Two way binding

<input type="text" [bsConfig]="bsConfig" [(ngModel)]="this.pilot.dob"
name="bsDatepicker" class="form-control"
#dp="bsDatepicker" bsDatepicker placeholder="MM-dd-yyyy">

on my submit function I change the format of my model value to MM/dd/yyyy ie 01/01/2018
const date = new Date(this.pilot.dob);
this.pilot.dob = moment(date).format('MM/DD/YYYY');
