Disable, Placeholder, Read-only in Angular DatePicker component

14 Apr 2021 / 1 minute to read

Property	Purpose
`enabled`	The component can be restricted on a page, by setting enabled value as false which will disable the component completely from all user interactions including in form post action.
`placeholder`	Using `placeholder` you can display a short hint in the input element.
`readonly`	set `readonly` to stop editing the value in the input, but value can be included when form submit.

The following example demonstrates how to achieve the above described properties in the DatePicker.
