If you want to catch the focus event dynamiclly on every input on your component :
import { AfterViewInit, Component, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
constructor(private el: ElementRef) {
}
ngAfterViewInit() {
// document.getElementsByTagName('input') : to gell all Docuement imputs
const inputList = [].slice.call((<HTMLElement>this.el.nativeElement).getElementsByTagName('input'));
inputList.forEach((input: HTMLElement) => {
input.addEventListener('focus', () => {
input.setAttribute('placeholder', 'focused');
});
input.addEventListener('blur', () => {
input.removeAttribute('placeholder');
});
});
}
}
