How do you call closePanel in angular 4 autoComplete material

Question

import { MdAutocomplete } from \'@angular/material\';

@Component({
 template:\'
             
             

        

Answer 1

Angular reads ElementRef by default from html element if you don't specify read option.

So

template

component

@ViewChild('autoCompleteInput', { read: MatAutocompleteTrigger }) 
autoComplete: MatAutocompleteTrigger;

Here is the Plunker Example that demonstrates this approach.
