Angular Material 2 Datepicker with dynamic name

问题

I am trying to implement a datepicker component with a dynamic name.

I am developing in an Angular Material 2 based project with Angular 4, and this is my implementation:

<input mdInput [mdDatepicker]="'start' + column.name + 'Picker'" placeholder="Start {{column.label}}" formControlName="start{{column.name}}">
<button mdSuffix [mdDatepickerToggle]="'start' + column.name + 'Picker'"></button>
<md-datepicker #start{{column.name}}Picker></md-datepicker>

where column.name changes dynamically in my html page.

In runtime I am getting this error:

ERROR TypeError: this._datepicker._registerInput is not a function

Do you have any idea about the cause of this error?

Note: Replacing column.name with a static value in the mdDatepicker and mdDatepickerToggle properties solves the problem, but my goal is to run this code with a dynamic value

Edit: The replacement of column.name with a static value in the mdDatepicker and mdDatepickerToggle properties just solves the runtime error. But the datepicker won't be triggered until everything is static, which means even the name #start{{column.name}}Picker in the md-datepicker has to contain a static value

I believe a better solution is to use an index while iterating over the array

 <div *ngFor="let column of columns; let i=index">
   <input mdInput [mdDatepicker]="i" placeholder="Start {{column.label}}" name="{{column.name}}">
   <button mdSuffix [mdDatepickerToggle]="i"></button>
   <md-datepicker #i></md-datepicker>
 </div>

This way you can access each element individually via element ref

I would like to point out the solution proposed by @yurzui in the comments associated to the question, so it would be visible to everyone:

<div *ngFor="let column of columns">
  <input mdInput [mdDatepicker]="startPicker" placeholder="Start {{column.label}}">
  <button mdSuffix [mdDatepickerToggle]="startPicker"></button>
  <md-datepicker #startPicker></md-datepicker>
</div>

columns = [ 
    {
      label: 'column1',
      name: 'name1'
    },
    {
      label: 'column1',
      name: 'name1'
    },
    {
      label: 'column1',
      name: 'name1'
    }  
]

When using dynamic material datepicker in reactive form array, using the index directly clashes with the formGroupName. Using "ii" solved the issue for me.

<div *ngFor="let item of myForm.get('myFormArray').controls; let i = index">
 <div [formGroupName]="i">
  <mat-form-field>
    <input matInput formControlName="myDate" [matDatepicker]="ii" />
    <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="ii"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
    <mat-datepicker #ii touchUi></mat-datepicker>
  </mat-form-field>
 </div>
</div>
