Question

I\'m using a date picker from angular material. I want to set a default value but it is not showing the value.

Answer 1

Here is my answer,

in your .html

in your .ts

this.form = this.formBuilder.group({
   date: new FormControl(new Date()), // Current Date
               ...
});

This will set current date as default date.
