bug(MatDateRangeInput): validation fails to update if end date gets set to after start date

[alexschilpp]

Is this a regression?

• [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

The previous version in which this bug was not present was

No response

Description

When manually entering the start date to a date after the end date, you get a validation error "Invalid start date" which is correct and expected. However, if you correct the end date to a date that is after the start date the validation doesn't seem to update and still shows "Invalid start date".

Reproduction

~~https://stackblitz.com/run?file=src/app/date-range-picker-forms-example.ts~~ https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-a3ezpw?file=src/app/app.component.html

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set start date to 12/1/2021 and end date to 12/2/2021
2. Set start date to 12/3/2021
3. Set end date to 12/4/2021

Expected Behavior

As soon as the end date is set to after the start date, validation should update and hide the error.

Actual Behavior

"invalid start date" error is still shown.

Environment

• Angular: ^12.2.9
• CDK/Material: ^12.2.9
• TypeScript: ^3.7.5
• Browser(s): Chrome
• Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): macOS

The link to the StackBlitz example is invalid. Probably it is not quite related to your issue, but you can use [min] and [max] inputs to limit users' input.

Thanks for filing the issue - can you provide a working reproduction?

Sorry, this one should work: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-a3ezpw?file=src/app/app.component.html

You can use this Workaround (Directive):

@Directive({
    selector: 'mat-date-range-input [sharedInputFix]'
})
export class SharedMatDateRangeInputFixDirective extends DestroyEmitterDirective() implements AfterContentInit, OnDestroy {
    @ContentChild(MatStartDate, { read: FormControlDirective })
    startDateControlDirective: FormControlDirective

    @ContentChild(MatEndDate, { read: FormControlDirective })
    endDateControlDirective: FormControlDirective

    ngAfterContentInit(): void {
        this.startDateControlDirective.valueChanges.pipe(distinctUntilChanged(), takeUntil(this.destroyed$)).subscribe(() =>
            setTimeout(() => {
                this.endDateControlDirective.control.updateValueAndValidity({
                    emitEvent: true,
                    onlySelf: false
                })
            })
        )
        this.endDateControlDirective.valueChanges.pipe(distinctUntilChanged(), takeUntil(this.destroyed$)).subscribe(() =>
            setTimeout(() => {
                this.startDateControlDirective.control.updateValueAndValidity({
                    emitEvent: true,
                    onlySelf: false
                })
            })
        )
    }
}

The setTimeout(...) is important... unfortunately.
