Answer 1

You need update

HTML

(blur)="setDatepicker($event.target.value)">

<input matInput [(ngModel)]="input" [matDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date">

TS

export class DatepickerFilterExample {
  input: any;
  setDatepicker(val) {
    //alert(val)
    this.input = new Date(val);
  }
}
