Date Picker

[pandit-anuj]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Provide a dropdown to select Year in Date picker

What is the expected behavior?

If we want to select an year which is 40-50 years back, we should be able to quickly select the year via a dropdown or likewise.

What is the current behavior?

If we want to select an year which is 40-50 years back, we need to use the arrows and keep clicking to get the appropriate year selected.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Providing a StackBlitz/Plunker (or similar) is the best way to get the team to see your issue.

Plunker starter (using on @master): https://goo.gl/DlHd6U

StackBlitz starter (using latest npm release): https://goo.gl/wwnhMV

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Enhance user experience

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

All

Is there anything else we should know?
