I am quite new to Angular, and I am trying to use mat-datepciker component with 'DD/MM/YYYY' format. It is working when using calendar toggle, but not when entering the date manually inside the input field. At the beginning it automatically changed the date format. For example: if I entered 30/01/2024 it was changed to 01/30/2024. I changed this behaviour by adding this providers to my app's module: {provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: 'es-ES'}, { provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: { parse: { dateInput: 'DD/MM/YYYY', }, display: { dateInput: 'DD/MM/YYYY', monthYearLabel: 'MMMM YYYY', dateA11yLabel: 'DD/MM/YYYY', monthYearA11yLabel: 'MMMM YYYY', }, } } , { provide: DateAdapter, useClass: MomentDateAdapter }, { provide: MAT_MOMENT_DATE_ADAPTER_OPTIONS, useValue: { useUtc: true } }, However, if I enter the date manually it is not being validated using 'DD/MM/YYYY' format, but 'MM/DD/YYYY' as you can see in the following screenshot: How can I prevent this behaviour? My datepicker element: <mat-form-field class="col-sm-6 col-lg-6"> <mat-label>Data de registre posterior o igual a:</mat-label> <input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker" [(ngModel)]="searchCriteria.dataRegistreInici"> <mat-datepicker-toggle matIconSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle> <mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker> </mat-form-field> Continue reading...
