Don't want to show md-calendar-month on date picker

[shruti0207]

Is there an any option that user can only select year and month in datepicker, the date views should not shown to user. once the user select the year and month is close the calendar and it show the select date in MM/YYYY format that also in some specific field not in complete application.

Show only year and month view

Hide date view

regrading #9246

I try parseDate and formatDate methods on the $mdDateLocaleProvider but it format the date when date is selected from the calendar, if date enter using keyboard in number format (08052016) it not get formatted as (08/05/2016) and if make the change in mdDatelocalProvider than the date format change every where in application, just need to change the date format in some specific field only

It's not possible, but it seems like it could be useful. I'm not sure how it would work with the input field, though.

Date is not getting format if user enter the date using keyboard in mm/dd/yyyy format and it also not get validate. Is there any way if user enter the date through keyboard it get format and same date select on calendar.

@crisbeto How'd see this option implemented? My suggestion is add md-select-month option to allow selecting months rather than dates.
I didn't figure out how this option should work with md-current-view.

+1 on this.

I need to implement this in a current project. It would be great if we could do md-select-month == true and have the year view loaded and close when the month is selected.

Sorry, I was away last week. I'll try to get this sorted soon, although it also depends on #9270 since it needs to be able to do different formatting.
