How to Show only date icon in native HTML element?

Issue

Not sure whether it is possible to show only icon for input type date.

<input type="datetime-local" id="test" name="test">

as highlighted below, I'm trying to show datepicker in my Angular material table row (doing *ngFor)and trigger datetime when click on date icon.

1. Don't know what is the exact css to remove or hide input border,mm/dd/yyyy --:-- --
2. Not sure how it will behave if i hide rest of the elements after finding proper css.

Alternate

after search lot, Found this alternate package and implemented, but its look odd in inside app.

So decided to go back and use native html element.

Could someone help me how to show only date-time icon ?

or suggest me datetime picker package for Angular?

Thanks to all

Using ngb-datepicker

  <div
    ngbDropdown
    class="form-group"
    placement="bottom-rigth"
    #myDrop="ngbDropdown"
    (openChange)="open($event, dp)"
  >
    <div class="input-group">
      <button
        ngbDropdownToggle
        class="btn btn-outline-secondary calendar"
        type="button"
      ></button>
      <div ngbDropdownMenu>
        <ngb-datepicker
          #dp
          (select)="onDateSelection($event, myDrop)"
          [displayMonths]="2"
          [dayTemplate]="t"
          outsideDays="hidden"
        >
        </ngb-datepicker>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

usign material date picker

<button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="appMenu">
  <mat-icon>calendar_today</mat-icon>
</button>
<mat-menu #appMenu="matMenu" class="drop-calendar" >
    <div (click)="$event.stopPropagation()">
        <mat-calendar #calendar (selectedChange)="select($event,calendar)" ></mat-calendar>
    </div>
</mat-menu>
