Hi,

Many thanks for develop this component.

I want to use It for select products and then add items to form array. After users select an element we are cleaning items for new request to the api remote data.

I want to add "autofocus" property to input search. I try with this code but this doesn't work.

In html:

<ngx-select [items]="product_items" placeholder="Search..." optionValueField="name" optionTextField="name" [searchCallback]="searchCallback" (typed)="searchProductsTyped.next($event)" (selectionChanges)="addChargeItem($event)" #searchProductsInput>

component.ts: @ViewChild('searchProductsInput', { static: false }) searchProductsInput: ElementRef;

and then:

this.searchProductsInput.nativeElement.focus();

I get this error:

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'focus' of undefined

Thanks for your help.

I try this but input focus still doesn't work.

@ViewChild(NgxSelectComponent) ngxSelectComponent: NgxSelectComponent;

ngAfterViewInit () {
    this.ngxSelectComponent.focusToInput();
    console.log('Hello!')
}
