Topic: Set autofocus in Input not working in Modal

Focus on Input in modal window

Not working

I tried the solution provided by Damian Gemza 5 years ago in the topic "How to set focus on input in modal" , but it didn't work for me.

Neither mdbActive, autofocus or [config]="{backdrop: false, ignoreBackdropClick: true}" work on modal input.

<div mdbModal #pdvCadUp="mdbModal" class="modal fade top" id="frameModalTop" tabindex="-1" role="dialog"
 aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"
 [config]="{backdrop: false, ignoreBackdropClick: true}">


You can listen to modal (opened) output and manually focus the input when this event is emitted. Here is an example:

HTML:

<div
  mdbModal
  #basicModal="mdbModal"
  class="modal fade"
  tabindex="-1"
  role="dialog"
  aria-labelledby="myBasicModalLabel"
  aria-hidden="true"
  (opened)="onOpen()"
>

TS:

  onOpen() {
    const input: HTMLInputElement | null = document.querySelector('.modal-input');

    if (input) {
      input.focus();
    }
  }
