title: Angular Material Datepicker input format
body: <p>When selecting a date with the datepicker, everything works great, displaying the date in the desired format: <code>DD/MM/YYYY</code></p>
  <p>But when entering manually a date with format <code>DD/MM/YYYY</code>, the datepicker automatically changes the date to <code>MM/DD/YYYY</code>, detecting the first value <code>DD</code> as a month.</p>
  <p>How can I make the manual input be detected as <code>DD/MM/YYYY</code>, not as <code>MM/DD/YYYY</code>?</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
