I would like to make a custom datepicker directive with a custom template.

But I have no idea how to start building it...

How to include date data for my directive?

I appreciate your guide or give me some advice to work on this more precisely.

HTML code sample:

    <label>Birth Date</label>
<input type="text" ng-model="birthDate" date-options="dateOptions" custom-datepicker/>

<hr/>

<pre>birthDate = {{birthDate}}</pre>

<script type="text/ng-template" id="custom-datepicker.html">
    <div class="enhanced-datepicker">
        <div class="proxied-field-wrap">
            <input type="text" ui-date-format="yy-mm-dd" ng-model="ngModel" ui-date="dateOptions"/>
        </div>
        <label>
            <button class="btn" type="button"><i class="icon-calendar"></i></button>
            <span class="datepicker-date">{{ngModel | date:'d MMM yyyy'}}</span>
        </label>
    </div>
</script>

JS code sample:

    angular
    .module('App',['ui.date'])
    .directive('customDatepicker',function($compile){
        return {
            replace:true,
            templateUrl:'custom-datepicker.html',
            scope: {
                ngModel: '=',
                dateOptions: '='
            },
            link: function($scope, $element, $attrs, $controller){
                var $button = $element.find('button');
                var $input = $element.find('input');
                $button.on('click',function(){
                    if($input.is(':focus')){
                        $input.trigger('blur');
                    } else {
                        $input.trigger('focus');
                    }
                });
            }    
        };
    })
