Add dropdown open event emitter

[andrit]

Is there a way to have something like this.filter.focus() fire when the dropdown is open and the filter is present? I would like to .focus() in the filter field when the dropdown is opened.

I see there is an @Output for onDropDownClose()...maybe with a onDropDownOpen() @Output, that could be achieved.

Then in toggleDropdown() the true case for this._settings.defaultOpen = !this._settings.defaultOpen; could fire this.onDropDownOpen.emit()

@andrit Even if we emit event on drop down open, you cannot set focus to filter as filter model is not exposed outside the component.

@NileshPatel17 If you are fine, I am happy to create a PR to set focus to filter if filter exist

@prathap0611 was this accomplished? setting the focus on the search filter when opening dropdown?

@prathap0611 @NileshPatel17 It would be a great addition to focus on the filter when opening the dropdown
