Setup

Basically the same way the @angular/material Datepicker is configured and imported.

import { NgxMatDatetimePickerModule, NgxMatTimepickerModule } from '@lautarobock/datetime-picker';
@NgModule({
   ...
   imports: [
      BrowserModule,
      HttpClientModule,
      BrowserAnimationsModule,
      MatDatepickerModule,
      MatInputModule,
      NgxMatTimepickerModule,
      FormsModule,
      ReactiveFormsModule,
      MatButtonModule,
      NgxMatDatetimePickerModule,
   ],
   ...
})
export class AppModule { }

@see src/app/demo-datetime/demo-datetime.module.ts

Using the component

The same API as @angular/material Datepicker (@see API docs)

Datetime Picker (ngx-mat-datetime-picker)

<mat-form-field>
   <input matInput [ngxMatDatetimePicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date" [formControl]="dateControl"
      [min]="minDate" [max]="maxDate" [disabled]="disabled">
   <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>

      [disableMinute]="disableMinute" [hideTime]="hideTime">
   </ngx-mat-datetime-picker>
</mat-form-field>

List of @Input of ngx-mat-timepicker

You can use all @Input of ngx-mat-timepicker for ngx-mat-datetime-picker

@Input	Type	Default value	Description
disabled	boolean	null	If true, the picker is readonly and can't be modified
showSpinners	boolean	true	If true, the spinners above and below input are visible
showSeconds	boolean	true	If true, it is not possible to select seconds
disableMinute	boolean	false	If true, the minute (and second) is readonly
defaultTime	Array	undefined	An array [hour, minute, second] for default time when the date is not yet defined
stepHour	number	1	The number of hours to add/substract when clicking hour spinners
stepMinute	number	1	The number of minutes to add/substract when clicking minute spinners
stepSecond	number	1	The number of seconds to add/substract when clicking second spinners
color	ThemePalette	undefined	Color palette to use on the datepicker's calendar.
enableMeridian	boolean	false	Whether to display 12H or 24H mode.
hideTime	boolean	false	If true, the time is hidden.
touchUi	boolean	false	Whether the calendar UI is in touch mode. In touch mode the calendar opens in a dialog rather than a popup and elements have more padding to allow for bigger touch targets.

Choosing a date implementation and date format settings

The datepicker was built to be date implementation agnostic. This means that it can be made to work with a variety of different date implementations. However it also means that developers need to make sure to provide the appropriate pieces for the datepicker to work with their chosen implementation.

The easiest way to ensure this is to import one of the provided date modules:

	NgxMatNativeDateModule	NgxMatMomentModule
Date type	Date	Moment
Supported locales	en-US	See project for details
Dependencies	None	Moment.js
Import from	@lautarobock/datetime-picker	@lautarobock/moment-adapter

To use NgxMatMomentModule:

npm install --save  @lautarobock/moment-adapter

Please note: NgxMatNativeDateModule is based off the functionality available in JavaScript's native Date object. Thus it is not suitable for many locales. One of the biggest shortcomings of the native Date object is the inability to set the parse format.

We highly recommend using the NgxMatMomentModule or a custom NgxMatDateAdapter that works with the formatting/parsing library of your choice.

For example:

Creating a custom date adapter:

@Injectable()
export class CustomDateAdapter extends NgxMatDateAdapter<D> {...}
// D can be Date, Moment or customized type

Creating a custom date adapter module

@NgModule({
  providers: [
    {
      provide: NgxMatDateAdapter,
      useClass: CustomDateAdapter,
      deps: [MAT_DATE_LOCALE, NGX_MAT_MOMENT_DATE_ADAPTER_OPTIONS]
    }
  ],
})
export class CustomDateModule { }

You can also customize the date format by providing your custom NGX_MAT_DATE_FORMATS in your module.

// If using Moment
const CUSTOM_DATE_FORMATS: NgxMatDateFormats = {
  parse: {
    dateInput: "l, LTS"
  },
  display: {
    dateInput: "l, LTS",
    monthYearLabel: "MMM YYYY",
    dateA11yLabel: "LL",
    monthYearA11yLabel: "MMMM YYYY"
  }
};

//and in the module providers 
providers: [
    { provide: NGX_MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: CUSTOM_MOMENT_FORMATS }
  ]
