Library version:
"ngrx-forms": "^6.3.5",
Describe the bug
When Boxing an interface which contains a property with a Date type, the box
function throws an error A form control value must be serializable
To Reproduce
export interface MyModel{
name:string;
dob:Date;
}
const value:MyModel = {name:'Bob', dob: new Date()}
box(value) //==> Throws error
I hoped that boxing would be able to handle this situation. I'm afraid that i might need to restructure our models and that would take a huge chunk of time.

This error is correct. Date
objects are not serializable, which can cause issues. Serializable basically means this:
value === JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(value))
Instead of boxing dates I recommend you use a value converter and store dates as ISO strings. There's an example for how to do this in the example app.
