angular material date picker numeric keypad enable

[pushpass]

What is the expected behavior?

Only numeric keypad to be shown. The date format we are using is dd.mm.yyyy and no other format are allowed.

What is the current behavior?

In mobile devices onclick of text input for the date picker, numeric keypad is not shown (normal text keypad is shown)

What are the steps to reproduce?

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

material vaersion : 7.3.0

Is there anything else we should know?

The date format we are using is dd.mm.yyyy and no other format are allowed.

The text input is totally under your control; you can add any type to want to the element that hasmatDatepicker

[pushpass]

Thank you for the response. If we give type:number for the input, we cannot select the date from calender.

Is your DateAdapter formatting to an output that would be accepted by type="number"?

[jelbourn]

Actually yeah, input type="number" doesn't support setting the value to something that's not a number.

Other than setting that, I don't know how else you would signal the OS to show the number keypad.
