Focus input after going to the next step in MatStepper

问题

How can I programmatically set focus to "Address" input after clicking "Next" button on step one, so after going form step 1 ("Fill out your name") to step 2 ("Fill out your address").

This is what I want to achieve:

I was already experimenting with MatStepper's selectionChange event, but it seems that it is fired before step 2 is visible, so it doesn't work.

You were on the right path using the selection Change event. See the forked StackBlitz:

StackBlitz

What you want to do is assign an id to your input elements that can be used in correlation with the selected index of the stepper, such as:

<mat-step [stepControl]="firstFormGroup">
    <form [formGroup]="firstFormGroup">
      <ng-template matStepLabel>Fill out your name</ng-template>
      <mat-form-field>
        <input id="input0" matInput placeholder="Last name, First name" formControlName="firstCtrl" required>
      </mat-form-field>
      <div>
        <button mat-button matStepperNext>Next</button>
      </div>
    </form>
  </mat-step>
  <mat-step [stepControl]="secondFormGroup">
    <form [formGroup]="secondFormGroup">
      <ng-template matStepLabel>Fill out your address</ng-template>
      <mat-form-field>
        <input  id="input1" matInput placeholder="Address" formControlName="secondCtrl" required>
      </mat-form-field>
      <div>
        <button mat-button matStepperPrevious>Back</button>
        <button mat-button matStepperNext>Next</button>
      </div>
    </form>
  </mat-step>

Then by using the selection (selectionChange) event you can set focus on the input element after waiting for it to be displayed in the DOM:

export class StepperOverviewExample implements AfterViewInit {
  isLinear = false;
  firstFormGroup: FormGroup;
  secondFormGroup: FormGroup;

  public targetInput = 'input0';

  constructor(private _formBuilder: FormBuilder) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.firstFormGroup = this._formBuilder.group({
      firstCtrl: ['', Validators.required]
    });
    this.secondFormGroup = this._formBuilder.group({
      secondCtrl: ['', Validators.required]
    });
  }

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.setFocus();
  }

  private setFocus() {
    let targetElem = document.getElementById(this.targetInput);
    setTimeout(function waitTargetElem() {
      if (document.body.contains(targetElem)) {
        targetElem.focus();
      } else {
        setTimeout(waitTargetElem, 100);
      }
    }, 100);
  }

  onChange(event: any) {
    let index = String(event.selectedIndex);
    this.targetInput = 'input' + index;
    this.setFocus();
  }
}

I have created my own alternate version to the one proposed by Narm. The problem that I had was that had rendering of actual stepper was postponed (eg. loading data from the server) ngAfterViewInit fired too soon. To combat that I am setting focus after step animation has finished. It creates slight delay but allows component to settle. StackBlitz and the code:

export class StepperOverviewExample implements OnInit {
  isLinear = false;
  firstFormGroup: FormGroup;
  secondFormGroup: FormGroup;
  private targetId = 'input0';

  constructor(private _formBuilder: FormBuilder) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.firstFormGroup = this._formBuilder.group({
      firstCtrl: ['', Validators.required]
    });
    this.secondFormGroup = this._formBuilder.group({
      secondCtrl: ['', Validators.required]
    });
  }

  setFocus() {
    const targetElem = document.getElementById(this.targetId);
    targetElem.focus();
  }

  setTargetId(event: any) {
    this.targetId = `input${event.selectedIndex}`;
  }
}

<mat-horizontal-stepper  (animationDone)="setFocus()" (selectionChange)="setTargetId($event)" [linear]="isLinear" #stepper>
  <mat-step [stepControl]="firstFormGroup">
    <form [formGroup]="firstFormGroup">
      <ng-template matStepLabel>Fill out your name</ng-template>
      <mat-form-field>
        <input id="input0" matInput placeholder="Last name, First name" formControlName="firstCtrl" required>
      </mat-form-field>
      <div>
        <button mat-button matStepperNext>Next</button>
      </div>
    </form>
  </mat-step>
  <mat-step [stepControl]="secondFormGroup">
    <form [formGroup]="secondFormGroup">
      <ng-template matStepLabel>Fill out your address</ng-template>
      <mat-form-field>
        <input id="input1" matInput placeholder="Address" formControlName="secondCtrl" required>
      </mat-form-field>
      <div>
        <button mat-button matStepperPrevious>Back</button>
        <button mat-button matStepperNext>Next</button>
      </div>
    </form>
  </mat-step>
  <mat-step>
    <ng-template matStepLabel>Done</ng-template>
    You are now done.
    <div>
      <button mat-button matStepperPrevious>Back</button>
      <button mat-button (click)="stepper.reset()">Reset</button>
    </div>
  </mat-step>
</mat-horizontal-stepper>

I think it still would be good to get rid of document for server side rendering compatibility.

The solution with input ids and selectionChange listener works and you can add also (animationDone) listener so you can call setFocus() without setTimeout() logic.
