Angular 6 Material mat-select change method removed

Question

In Angular Material Design 6, the (change) method was removed. I cant find how to replace the change method to execute code in the component when the user change selection

Answer 1

If you're using Reactive forms you can listen for changes to the select control like so..

this.form.get('mySelectControl').valueChanges.subscribe(value => { ... do stuff ... })

Answer 2

For:

1) mat-select (selectionChange)="myFunction()" works in angular as:

sample.component.html

 <mat-select placeholder="Select your option" [(ngModel)]="option" name="action" 
      (selectionChange)="onChange()">
     <mat-option *ngFor="let option of actions" [value]="option">
       {{option}}
     </mat-option>
 </mat-select>

sample.component.ts

actions=['A','B','C'];
onChange() {
  //Do something
}

2) Simple html select (change)="myFunction()" works in angular as:

sample.component.html

<select (change)="onChange()" [(ngModel)]="regObj.status">
    <option>A</option>
    <option>B</option>
    <option>C</option>
</select>

sample.component.ts

onChange() {
  //Do something
}

I have this issue today with mat-option-group. The thing which solved me the problem is using in other provided event of mat-select : valueChange

I put here a little code for understanding :

<mat-form-field >
  <mat-label>Filter By</mat-label>
  <mat-select  panelClass="" #choosedValue (valueChange)="doSomething1(choosedValue.value)"> <!-- (valueChange)="doSomething1(choosedValue.value)" instead of (change) or other event-->

    <mat-option >-- None --</mat-option>
      <mat-optgroup  *ngFor="let group of filterData" [label]="group.viewValue"
                    style = "background-color: #0c5460">
        <mat-option *ngFor="let option of group.options" [value]="option.value">
          {{option.viewValue}}
        </mat-option>
      </mat-optgroup>
  </mat-select>
</mat-form-field>

For me (selectionChange) and the suggested (onSelectionChange) didn't work and I'm not using ReactiveForms. What I ended up doing was using the (valueChange) event like:

<mat-select (valueChange)="someFunction()">

And this worked for me
