So, let's get started and explore how to change the start date in date picker in Angular 15 using the powerful Angular Material library.

Before we begin, make sure you have a working Angular 15 application set up on your machine. Additionally, ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed, including Angular Material and its corresponding CSS styles.

To add Angular Material to your project, run the following command in your terminal.

npm install @angular/material@15 @angular/cdk@15

In the component file (app.module.ts), import the required Angular Material modules.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';       

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

import { MatDatepickerModule } from '@angular/material/datepicker';

import { MatNativeDateModule } from '@angular/material/core';

import { MatFormFieldModule } from '@angular/material/form-field';

import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

  

@NgModule({

  declarations: [

    AppComponent

  ],

    imports:      [

    BrowserModule, 

    BrowserAnimationsModule,

    MatDatepickerModule,

    MatNativeDateModule,

    MatFormFieldModule,

    ReactiveFormsModule ],

  providers: [],

  bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule { }

Create a new component that will contain your datepicker. For example, you can create a DatepickerComponent using the Angular CLI.

ng generate component Datepicker

In your DatepickerComponent template file, add the datepicker component and modify its start date.

<div class="container" style="margin:70px;">
	<h2>How To Change Datepicker Start Date In Angular 15 Material - Websolutionstuff</h2>
	<mat-form-field appearance="fill">
		<mat-label>Choose a date</mat-label>
		<input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker">
		<mat-hint>MM/DD/YYYY</mat-hint>
		<mat-datepicker-toggle matIconSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
		<mat-datepicker #picker startView="year" [startAt]="startDate"></mat-datepicker>
	</mat-form-field>
</div>

In your DatepickerComponent class file, define the customStartDate property and assign it the desired start date.

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {MatDatepickerModule} from '@angular/material/datepicker';
import {MatFormFieldModule} from '@angular/material/form-field';
import {MatNativeDateModule} from '@angular/material/core';

/** @title Datepicker start date */
@Component({
  selector: 'app-datepicker',
  templateUrl: 'datepicker.component.html',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [MatFormFieldModule, MatDatepickerModule, MatNativeDateModule],
})
export class DatepickerComponent {
  startDate = new Date(1990, 0, 1);
}

Start the Angular development server using the ng serve command and open the app in your browser.

ng serve
