yyyy only form

[randym127]

When I set the format to 'yyyy' I get the following error:

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of null

There must be also d and m letters in the date format string.

Right, but if we want to use this as a Date of Birth collection, in some countries you can only collect year.

'yyyy' is a valid date format as is 'mm yyyy' is also common for DOB.

That is good point :-) I will investigate this next weekend and check how easy is change current functionality.

@kekeh
Also in one of our project the requirement is like 17 January.
Format - d mmm.
It will be better, if we have that support in library. :)

@ShrikantAdhav I would also need that functionality.
@kekeh Can you investigate if this is something you could easily add? I think it was already available in the previous datepicker for Angular < 7

Now you can give more date formats to the dateFormat option. For example yyyy, mm/yyyy and mmm yyyy.

This is implemented in 0.5.6 version.
