angular material 2 date picker auto open on focus

Question

How angular material 2 date picker can be configured to be opened automatically on focus? I didn\'t find anything in the documentation at https://material.angular.io/compone

Answer 1

For the new Angular & Material (5 and above) it should something like this. The link in question points to up-to-date documentation, but uses code from Angular 2, which might be confusing to newbies.
