Suggestion: Type Date Time Option

[alobban]

The ability to type in the date-time instead of being forced solely to use the picker. Some users find it faster to type in the values than having to pick it.
Any PRs?

You can disable the dialog for an input and use a button, alongside the mdcDateTimeDialog service to display dialog.

Somewhere on your page, you have:

<input ng-model="selectedDateTime"/> <md-button ng-click="displayDialog()">Use Picker</md-button>

Then in your controller:

      $scope.displayDialog = function () {
        mdcDateTimeDialog.show({
          maxDate: $scope.maxDate,
          time: false
        })
          .then(function (date) {
            $scope.selectedDateTime = date;
          });
      };

The thing missing is how to format the input without the directive.
I used type="date" for the example, it works but not for "datetime".
