FAQ

How to change date format or locale?

As same as for material, but with more code, just import constants from 'saturn-datepicker'.

Also you need to install @angular/material-moment-adapter package.

import { DateAdapter, MAT_DATE_FORMATS, MAT_DATE_LOCALE, SatDatepickerModule } from 'saturn-datepicker'
import { MAT_MOMENT_DATE_FORMATS, MomentDateAdapter } from '@angular/material-moment-adapter'


@NgModule({
    imports: [
        SatDatepickerModule,
    ],
    providers: [
        MyReportsService,
        {provide: DateAdapter, useClass: MomentDateAdapter, deps: [MAT_DATE_LOCALE]},
        {provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MAT_MOMENT_DATE_FORMATS},
    ],
})
export class MyModule {
}

For advanced formatting, please look through material documentation.
