This tutorial will give you simple example of how to change date format in angular material datepicker. if you want to see example of angular datepicker format dd/mm/yyyy then you are a right place. I’m going to show you about angular datepicker format yyyy-mm-dd.

In this example, we will add material design theme and then import some dependency module of datepicker. then we will simply write code of datepicker from angular document. using MomentDateModule and MAT_DATE_FORMATS we will change date format DD/MM/YYYY.

So, let's see bellow example from here:

Step 1: Create New App

You can easily create your angular app using bellow command:

Step 2: Add Material Design

Now in this step, we need to just install material design theme in our angular application. so let's add as like bellow:

npm install moment --save 

npm i @angular/material-moment-adapter

Step 4: Import Module

In third step, we need to import some dependency like MomentDateModule, MatDatepickerModule, MatNativeDateModule, MatInputModule. so let's add.

src/app/app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
     
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { MatFormFieldModule } from '@angular/material/form-field';
import { MatInputModule } from '@angular/material/input';
   
import { MatDatepickerModule } from '@angular/material/datepicker';
import { MatNativeDateModule } from '@angular/material/core';
import { MomentDateModule } from '@angular/material-moment-adapter';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports:      [
    BrowserModule, 
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    MatDatepickerModule,
    MatNativeDateModule,
    MatFormFieldModule,
    MomentDateModule,
    MatInputModule 
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { } 

Step 5: Updated ts file

Now in ts file, add bellow code:

src/app/app.component.html

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MAT_DATE_FORMATS } from '@angular/material/core';
   
export const MY_DATE_FORMATS = {
    parse: {
      dateInput: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
    },
    display: {
      dateInput: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
      monthYearLabel: 'MMMM YYYY',
      dateA11yLabel: 'LL',
      monthYearA11yLabel: 'MMMM YYYY'
    },
};
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
  providers: [
    { provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MY_DATE_FORMATS }
  ]
})
  
export class AppComponent {
    title = 'my-app';
}

Step 6: Update html file

Now in view file, we will write code of input element with datepicker as like bellow:

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>angular material datepicker change format - ItSolutionStuff.Com</h1>
     
<mat-form-field>
  <input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date">
  <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
  <mat-datepicker #picker ></mat-datepicker>
</mat-form-field>

Now we are ready to run our example, you can run by following command:

ng serve

you will see layout as bellow:
