I know how to convert a string to an integer in the controller

parseInt( $scope.date)

But i have to do this in the view

<span data-ng-show=item.date>{{ item.date | hbdatetime }}</span>

In the view itself i have to convert the date ( which i am getting as a string ) to an integer so that i can filter with hbdatetime .

I am trying something like this

// <data-ng-show=item.date>parseInt{{ item.date | hbdatetime }}</span> 

Please help in angular way
