Angular 6 and bootstrap 4: date picker

Question

I have a form which contain a date picker / calender, email, city name and hotel name, I want a user to select a date and enter other fields and submit the data.

This is what I have.

HTML:

 <form [formGroup]="angForm" class="form-element">
        <div class="form-group">
          <label for="dateOfBirth">Date of Birth</label>
          <input id="dateOfBirth" name="dateOfBirth" [(ngModel)]="dateOfBirth" type="text" bsDatepicker class="form-control" />
        </div>

        <div class="form-group form-element_email">
          <input type="email" class="form-control info" placeholder="Email" formControlName="email" #email (ngModelChange)="onChange($event)">
        </div>
        <div *ngIf="angForm.controls['email'].invalid && (angForm.controls['email'].dirty || angForm.controls['email'].touched)"
          class="alert alert-danger">
          <div *ngIf="angForm.controls['email'].errors.required">
            Email is required.
          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="input-group mb-3 form-element_city">
          <select class="custom-select" id="inputGroupSelect01" #cityName>
            <option selected *ngFor="let city of cities" [ngValue]="city.name">{{city.name}}</option>

          </select>
        </div>
        <div class="input-group mb-3 form-element_hotel">
          <select class="custom-select" id="inputGroupSelect01" #hotelName>
            <option selected *ngFor="let hotel of hotels" [ngValue]="hotel.name">{{hotel.name}}</option>

          </select>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
          <button type="submit" (click)="addReview(email.value, cityName.value , hotelName.value)" class="btn btn-primary btn-block form-element_btn"
            [disabled]="!validEmail">Book</button>
        </div>
      </form>

This dispalys the following result: wrong one

Instead of that input with date picker , I just want the full calender to be display on the left side ,

Here is what I want . Good one

I tried many solution online I could not be able to solve my problem,

What do I need to change in my code to get the result I want? please Am newbie though, thanks

You can actually provide placement in the element which uses bdDatepicker directive. Just set this placement property to left value. Here is example in documentation. https://valor-software.com/ngx-bootstrap/#/datepicker#placement
