importing from @angular/material/core would solve the issue (maybe related to https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/7947 but not sure)

import { MatNativeDateModule } from '@angular/material/core';

@aitboudad Bro, I have been converting my form components to formly. Everything is fine except bootstrap datepicker. Spent 4 hours on this. Can you figure out why date isn't binding with my custom bootstrap datepicker type ?

@Component({
  selector: 'app-form-datepicker-type',
  template: `
    <input
      [formControl]="formControl"
