Angular Material Autocomplete showing with image and text

Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. Today in this blog post, I am going to tell you, Angular Material Autocomplete showing with image and text.

Angular 13 came and if you are new then you must check below two links:

1. Angular 13 Demos
2. AngularMaterial

Friends here is the code snippet and please use this carefully to avoid mistakes:

1. Firstly friends we need fresh angular 13 setup and for this we need to run below commands but if you already have angular 13 setup then you can avoid below commands. Secondly we should also have latest node version installed on our system:

npm install -g @angular/cli

ng new angularmaterial

cd angularmaterial

ng serve --o

//Here is the url, you need to run into your browser and see working angular test project
http://localhost:4200/

2. Now friends we need to run below command into our project terminal to get angular material and its related modules:

ng add @angular/material

ng serve --o

3. Finally friends we need to add below code into our project/src/app/app.component.html file to get the final output on web browser:

<form class="example-form">
  <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
    <mat-label>State</mat-label>
    <input matInput
           aria-label="State"
           [matAutocomplete]="auto"
           [formControl]="stateCtrl">
    <mat-autocomplete #auto="matAutocomplete">
      <mat-option *ngFor="let state of filteredStates | async" [value]="state.name">
        <img class="example-option-img" aria-hidden [src]="state.flag" height="25">
        <span>{{state.name}}</span> |
        <small>Population: {{state.population}}</small>
      </mat-option>
    </mat-autocomplete>
  </mat-form-field>
</form>

4. Now friends we need to add below code inside project/src/app/app.component.css file:

.mat-option .mat-option-text img{
    width:40px;
    height:40px;
  }
  .mat-option .mat-option-text span{
    font-size:2em;
    padding:0 0 10px 10px;
    margin:0 0 10px 0 !important;
    white-space:nowrap;
  }
  .mat-option{
      line-height: 0!important;
  }

5. Now friends we need to add below code inside project/src/app/app.component.ts file:

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {FormControl} from '@angular/forms';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs';
import {map, startWith} from 'rxjs/operators';

export interface State {
  flag: string;
  name: string;
  population: string;
}

/**
 * @title Autocomplete overview
 */
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  stateCtrl = new FormControl();
  filteredStates: Observable<State[]>;

  states: State[] = [
    {
      name: 'Arkansas',
      population: '2.978M',
      // https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Arkansas.svg
      flag: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Flag_of_Arkansas.svg',
    },
    {
      name: 'California',
      population: '39.14M',
      // https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_California.svg
      flag: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Flag_of_California.svg',
    },
    {
      name: 'Florida',
      population: '20.27M',
      // https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Florida.svg
      flag: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Flag_of_Florida.svg',
    },
    {
      name: 'Texas',
      population: '27.47M',
      // https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Texas.svg
      flag: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Flag_of_Texas.svg',
    },
  ];

  constructor() {
    this.filteredStates = this.stateCtrl.valueChanges.pipe(
      startWith(''),
      map(state => (state ? this._filterStates(state) : this.states.slice())),
    );
  }

  private _filterStates(value: string): State[] {
    const filterValue = value.toLowerCase();

    return this.states.filter(state => state.name.toLowerCase().includes(filterValue));
  }
}

6. Now friends we need to add below code inside project/src/app/app.module.ts file:

import { NgModule, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';


import {MatInputModule} from '@angular/material/input';
import { MatAutocompleteModule } from '@angular/material/autocomplete';
import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    MatAutocompleteModule,
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    MatInputModule
  ],
  schemas: [ CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Now we are done friends. If you have any kind of query or suggestion or requirement then feel free to comment below.
