angularjs set default date input at today

I try to set the default value of an input field at today. I can do that with an text field but when I try with an date field it fails.

HTML code :

<div ng-controller="MyCtrl"> <form name="new"> <input type="date" ng-model="date_rdv" /> <input type="text" ng-model="form_text" /> </form> </div> 

JS code :

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]); function MyCtrl($scope, $filter) { $scope.form_text = $filter('date')(Date.now(), 'yyyy-MM-dd'); $scope.date_Rdv = $filter('date')(Date.now(), 'yyyy-MM-dd'); } 

Why it works with text field and not with date field ?

JSFiddle.
