  [autocomplete]="true"
  [placeholder]="'Canada'"
  [label]="'Country'"
></wav-autocomplete-selection>

Here is an example with 2 autocomplete types and different options. The button will display in the console the selection whether its entered or selected.

<div [formGroup]="autoForm" style="padding: 24px;">

  <wav-autocomplete-selection
    formControlName="country1"
    [data]="countries"
    [autocomplete]="true"
    [required]="true"
    [appearance]="'outline'"
    [style]="'width:400px; color:red'"
    [placeholder]="'Canada'"
    [label]="'Country'"
  ></wav-autocomplete-selection>

  <wav-autocomplete-selection
    formControlName="country2"
    [data]="countries"
    [autocomplete]="false"
    [required]="false"
    [appearance]="'outline'"
    [style]="'width:400px; color:red'"
    [placeholder]="'Canada'"
    [label]="'Country'"
  ></wav-autocomplete-selection>

  <button mat-button (click)="onSubmit()">Submit</button>

</div>

In the component we define the menu's contents and define the form

countries = ['Canada', 'United States', 'Russia', 'China']
country = ''

autoForm = this.fb.group({
  country1: [null], country2: [null]
})

The onSubmit action connectd to the button click event

onSubmit() {
  this.autoForm.markAllAsTouched()
  if(this.autoForm.valid) console.log('valid:',this.autoForm.value)
  console.log(this.autoForm.value, this.autoForm.valid)
}
