How to set custom date programmatically using ng bootstrap & angular 6?

Here I am trying to set a date programmatically using ng-bootstrap date picker

I tried some thing like this putting the custom date 

this.model= {
  "year": 2018,
  "month": 8,
  "day": 15
}

I know it is not efficient way and there is one issue is that after selecting the giving the date picker is not navigating to that particular month.

Suppose If I choose 2nd jan 2018 then also it is staying in the current month it is not moving to jan. How can i solve these issues?

Below is my code & stack blitz link

.ts code

model: NgbDateStruct;
  date: {year: number, month: number};
  constructor(private calendar: NgbCalendar){

  }

   selectToday() {
    this.model = this.calendar.getToday();
  }

  select(){
    this.model= {
  "year": 2018,
  "month": 8,
  "day": 15
}

.html file

<ngb-datepicker #dp [(ngModel)]="model" (navigate)="date = $event.next"></ngb-datepicker>

Create NgbDate instance by,

date = new NgbDate(2020,19,2);

make this date as ngModel;

See https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/datepicker/api#NgbDate

Just use [startDate]="model" binding so you will always get to the page when updating model:

<ngb-datepicker #dp [(ngModel)]="model" [startDate]="model" (navigate)="date = $event.next"></ngb-datepicker>

Or you might navigate the calendar manually via dp.navigateTo(model) method:

<ngb-datepicker #dp [(ngModel)]="model" (navigate)="date = $event.next"></ngb-datepicker>

<button class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-primary mr-2" (click)="selectToday(dp)">Select Today</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-primary mr-2" (click)="select(dp)">Select Custom</button>

And in controller:

selectToday(dp) {
  this.model = this.calendar.getToday();
  dp.navigateTo(this.model);
}

select(dp){
  this.model = {
    "year": 2018,
    "month": 8,
    "day": 15
  }
  dp.navigateTo(this.model);
}
