Exploring methods to deactivate specific dates within the angular material datepicker

Is it possible to prevent specific dates from being selected based on the current date? For example, if today is 8/1/16, I would like to disable the next 4 days (any number of days could be chosen), excluding weekends.

So, if today is 8/1/16, I would want to prevent selection of 8/2/16, 8/3/16, 8/4/16, and 8/5/16. Only dates after 8/8/16 would be available for selection.

Currently, I only know how to disable all weekend days in the calendar using the following filter:

$scope.disableSelectedDays = function () {

                //Creating a new moment instance to always have the current date
                var momentJS = new moment();

                if (momentJS <= moment().add(4, 'days')) {
                    return false;
                } else {
                    //Disabling only weekends
                    var day = date.getDay();
                    return day === 1 || day === 2 || day === 3 || day === 4 || day === 5;
                }
            }

This is my html:

<div class="form-group">
                                <label>Delivery date:</label>
                                <md-datepicker ng-model="myDate" md-placeholder="Enter date"
                                               md-date-filter="disableSelectedDays">
                                </md-datepicker>
                            </div>

These are the versions I am currently using:

angular-maeria: v1.1.0-rc.5 datepicker: datepicker from angular material v1.1.0-rc4-master-88f2e3f

EDIT 1

I tried implementing the changes you suggested, but now all dates in the datepicker are disabled and I can't select anything. What am I doing wrong?

Additionally, I have added the following libraries:

moment.js version: 2.14.1 angular-moment https://github.com/urish/angular-moment

If you're looking to implement this solution, you can utilize moment.js for your needs.

To prevent selection of dates that fall after a certain number of days from the chosen date, you can follow this code snippet (Please note that this is a theoretical example and has not been tested, so there could be potential errors).

// Define the date you wish to validate

// Define the number of days as 4 in this case

$scope.disableSelectedDays = function (date) {
    if(date <= moment().add(4, 'days')) {
        return false;
    } else {
        // Disable weekends only
        var day = date.getDay();
        return day === 1 || day === 2 || day === 3 || day === 4 || day === 5;
    }
}
