bug(mat-datepicker): Restrict MatCalendarView

[angelaki]

Feature Description

I'd like to be able to disable some MatCalendarView options.

Use Case

I'm using the picker as a month picker. When changing the view the user get irritated by being able to select a day since the picker usualy closes on month selection (via (monthSelected)).

Hello @angelaki , I think we have instructions for what you are trying to accomplish in Datepicker emulating a Year and month picker
.

Could you please take a look at the above documentation and let us know if the datepicker meets your needs?

Thanks,
Zach

Hey @zarend in this example you can still toggle to month view, what is a bit irritating:

Interesting, I'm not able to toggle to month view in the Datepicker emulating a Year and month picker example...

How are you able to do that? What steps did you take?

Environment

• Chrome Version 102.0.5005.61 (Official Build) (x86_64)
• macOS 12.4 (21F79)

Actually quite easy, just click the years:

Next you are able to select a day in the month.

Thanks for reporting; I can reproduce. This looks to me like an issue with the example, rather than the date-picker itself. I should be able to look into fixing the example later.

Actually I don't know what should keep the picker from allowing it. It has an initial view and catches the month selected event. I guess that use-case just isn't supported (yet)?

Just saw you also responded to my issue #24914. Guess it's pretty related.
