I'm using the datepicker directive in Angular Bootstrap like so:

<datepicker ng-model="period_start" show-weeks="false" class="bs-dateselector"></datepicker>

How can I detect when a user has actually selected a date?

Exactly as you would detect that a user has typed into an <input ng-model="foo"> (with ng-model) - by using ng-change:

<datepicker ng-model="period_start" show-weeks="false" class="bs-dateselector"
            ng-change="dateChanged()"></datepicker>

That's the idea behind the ngModel directive - that other directives that require: "ngModel", like ng-change or various validators do not need to make any assumptions about the underlying DOM of the input control.

Of course. I got confused by there not being an attribute to specify an event for when the user selected a date. And so I thought along the lines of watching a scope object or anything like that but that seemed a bit too complicated for what I was trying to achieve. Thanks!
