A MatDatePicker with a filter defined as followed:

<mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
  <input matInput [matDatepickerFilter]="myFilter" [matDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date">
  <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
  <mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
</mat-form-field>

export class DatepickerFilterExample {
  someDateToBlock: number = 3;
  myFilter = (d: Date): boolean => {
    const day = d.getDay();
    // THIS FUNCTION CANNOT ACCESS THE VARIABLE 'someDateToBlock'
    return day !== 0 && day !== 6;
  }
}

I would like to access the variable someDateToBlock (or any other) in the filter function. Is there a workaround to make this possbile?

This is working, here is plunkr link: https://plnkr.co/edit/oRGfxLSrn6GdfRhYO1rr?p=preview

export class DatepickerOverviewExample {
  someDateToBlock: number = 3;
  myFilter = (d: Date): boolean => {
    const day = d.getDay();
    // THIS FUNCTION CANNOT ACCESS THE VARIABLE 'someDateToBlock'
    return this.someDateToBlock;
  }
}

I checked with alert(this.someDateToBlock) also

Type '(d: Date) => boolean' is not assignable to type 'DateFilterFn<Date | null>'

myFilter = (d: Date ** |null **): boolean => {
   const day = (d || new Date()).getDay();
   // Prevent Saturday and Sunday from being selected.
   return day !== 0 && day !== 6;
};

You can

myLegalDate = (d: Date): boolean => {
    //Your code
    //You can see the variable someDateToBlock
    console.log(this.someDateToBlock);
}

myFilter = this.myLegalDate.bind(this);
