How can I set my reactive form date input value?

Question

So I am trying to display this date for an input. But it\'s not displaying when setting the value of it in my form builder group. I would also like to be able to format it too.<

Answer 1

Try the built-in formatDate package.

import { formatDate } from '@angular/common' 

and then convert your date and set it to the datepicker control

this.yourForm.controls.controlName.setValue(formatDate(date,'yyyy-MM-dd','en'));
