Material 2 datepicker not working with el-GR locale

[gtzinos]

Hi guys,

I am trying to set a locale in my datepicker but i am facing an issue. When someone select a date it display the correct format in my input field (dd/mm/yyyy) but when he tries to change the date it can't parse the date to start from the selected month instead it displays the current month. *if i will remove my locale it works fine but i need it.

An example:

User select 09/05/2017 (datepicker locale = el-GR) (dd/mm/yyyy from locale)
input field now has 09/05/2017
User click to change the date and the datepicker opens at september (it can't parse the previous to start from june).

I am using material-beta-10, currently can't upgrade to beta-11 to test your upgrade, so any workaround to keep my locale ?

@gtzinos, if you just want to represent the date correctly in dd/mm/yyyy, one approach is to work with MdMomentDateModule (which is temporarily bugged but it already has a fix on the way).

The other approach is work with regular javascript Date objects and use the MdNativeDateModule. In this case, you'll have to override its parse function building a custom date adapter: https://plnkr.co/edit/Z9JAiP?p=preview

To properly handle dd/mm/yyyy format you will need to use the MomentDateAdapter you can check in with #7262 for status of the adapter.
