Install ngx-mat-select-search in your project:
npm install ngx-mat-select-search
Import the NgxMatSelectSearchModule e.g. in your app.module.ts:
import { MatSelectModule } from '@angular/material';
import { NgxMatSelectSearchModule } from 'ngx-mat-select-search';
@NgModule({
imports: [
...
MatSelectModule,
NgxMatSelectSearchModule
],
})
export class AppModule {}
Use the ngx-mat-select-search component inside a mat-select element by placing it inside a <mat-option> element:
<mat-form-field>
<mat-select [formControl]="bankCtrl" placeholder="Bank" #singleSelect>
<mat-option>
<ngx-mat-select-search [formControl]="bankFilterCtrl"></ngx-mat-select-search>
</mat-option>
<mat-option *ngFor="let bank of filteredBanks | async" [value]="bank">
{{bank.name}}
</mat-option>
</mat-select>
</mat-form-field>
See the examples in https://github.com/bithost-gmbh/ngx-mat-select-search/tree/master/src/app/examples
how to wire the ngx-mat-select-search and filter the options available.
Or have a look at https://github.com/bithost-gmbh/ngx-mat-select-search-example to see it in a standalone app.
You can alternatively use it with template driven forms as follows:
<ngx-mat-select-search ngModel (ngModelChange)="filterMyOptions($event)">
In order to change the labels, use the inputs specified in the API section as follows:
<ngx-mat-select-search [formControl]="bankFilterCtrl"
placeholderLabel="Find bank..."
noEntriesFoundLabel="'no matching bank found'"></ngx-mat-select-search>
To use the i18n API for translation of the labels, add the corresponding i18n-... attributes:
<ngx-mat-select-search [formControl]="bankFilterCtrl"
placeholderLabel="Find bank..."
i18n-placeholderLabel
noEntriesFoundLabel="'no matching bank found'"
i18n-noEntriesFoundLabel></ngx-mat-select-search>

In order to customize the search icon, add the ngxMatSelectSearchClear to your custom clear item (a mat-icon or any other element) and place it inside the ngx-mat-select-search component:
<ngx-mat-select-search>
<mat-icon ngxMatSelectSearchClear>delete</mat-icon>
</ngx-mat-select-search>
If just the icon should be changed the inputs closeIcon and closeSvgIcon can be used.
In order to customize the no entries found element, add the ngxMatSelectNoEntriesFound to your custom item (a mat-icon, span, button or any other element) and place it inside the ngx-mat-select-search component:
<ngx-mat-select-search>
<span ngxMatSelectNoEntriesFound>
No entries found
<button mat-button color="primary">
Add <mat-icon>add</mat-icon>
</button>
</span>
</ngx-mat-select-search>
Custom content with the CSS class mat-select-search-custom-header-content can be transcluded as follows:
<ngx-mat-select-search>
<div class="mat-select-search-custom-header-content">something special</div>
</ngx-mat-select-search>
Providing the MAT_SELECTSEARCH_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
InjectionToken, the default values of several @Input() properties can be set globally.
See the documentation of the corresponding @Input() properties of MatSelectSearchComponent.
Example:
import { MAT_SELECTSEARCH_DEFAULT_OPTIONS, MatSelectSearchOptions } from 'ngx-mat-select-search';
@NgModule({
...
providers: [
{
provide: MAT_SELECTSEARCH_DEFAULT_OPTIONS,
useValue: <MatSelectSearchOptions>{
closeIcon: 'delete',
noEntriesFoundLabel: 'No options found',
}
}
]
})
class AppModule {}
