No need to use MomentDateAdapter!

Here's my solution with the least amount of code and using the MAT_NATIVE_DATE_FORMATS.

1. Declare your own date formats

import { MatDateFormats, MAT_NATIVE_DATE_FORMATS } from '@angular/material';

export const GRI_DATE_FORMATS: MatDateFormats = {
  ...MAT_NATIVE_DATE_FORMATS,
  display: {
    ...MAT_NATIVE_DATE_FORMATS.display,
    dateInput: {
      year: 'numeric',
      month: 'short',
      day: 'numeric',
    } as Intl.DateTimeFormatOptions,
  }
};

2. Use them

@Component({
  selector: 'app-vacation-wizard',
  templateUrl: './vacation-wizard.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./vacation-wizard.component.scss'],
  providers: [
    { provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: GRI_DATE_FORMATS },
  ]
})

Don't forget to set the appropriate language!

constructor(private readonly adapter: DateAdapter) {}
this.adapter.setLocale(this.translate.currentLang);

That's all!
