I want to use Angular Material Datepicker to get a date into my page. I use this code, but cannot figure out how to access the selected value correctly.

<md-input-container>
  <input mdInput [mdDatepicker]="myDatepicker">
  <button mdSuffix [mdDatepickerToggle]="myDatepicker"></button>
</md-input-container>
<md-datepicker #myDatepicker></md-datepicker>

I tried the [value] field in input but how can I get the date to send it to my backend? Thanks.

as stated in the docs there are 2 events (dateChange) and (dateInput) that can be used if you prefer. the $event has 3 props, target is the MatDatepickerInput, targetElement for the native HTML Element, and value which is the Date object.

<input matInput [matDatepicker]="pickerFrom" placeholder="From" 
      (dateChange)="changeFunc($event)"      <<---- you can send $event
      (dateChange)="dateInput($event.value)" <<---- or just $event.value
