Installation

1. Install via ng add. (Recommended)

If Angular Material Design is not setup, just run ng add @angular/material learn more

Now add the library via the angular schematics

ng add @angular-material-extensions/select-country

2. Install via npm. (Alternative)

Install peer dependencies

npm i svg-country-flags -s

then update your angular.json like below (svg-country-flags)

"assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets",
              {
                "glob": "**/*",
                "input": "./node_modules/svg-country-flags/svg",
                "output": "src/assets/svg-country-flags/svg"
              }
            ],

Now install @angular-material-extensions/select-country via:

npm install --save @angular-material-extensions/select-country

Import the library

If you installed the library via angular schematics, you can skip this step

Once installed you need to import the main module and the HttpClientModule:

import { MatSelectCountryModule } from "@angular-material-extensions/select-country";

import { MatSelectCountryModule } from '@angular-material-extensions/select-country';
import {HttpClientModule} from '@angular/common/http';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
  imports: [
              MatSelectCountryModule.forRoot('de'), // you can use 'br' | 'de' | 'en' | 'es' | 'fr' | 'hr' | 'it' | 'nl' | 'pt' --> MatSelectCountrySupportedLanguages
             HttpClientModule, ...],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

in other modules

import { MatSelectCountryModule } from '@angular-material-extensions/select-country';
import {HttpClientModule} from '@angular/common/http';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
  imports: [MatSelectCountryModule, HttpClientModule, ...],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Other modules in your application like for lazy loading import MatSelectCountryModule into your feature module:

Usage

add the <mat-select-country> element to your template:

<mat-select-country>
</mat-select-country>

Use the library with reactive forms

option 1 with Reactive Forms

<mat-select-country appearance="outline"
                    label="Country"
                    [formControl]="countryFormControl"
                    (onCountrySelected)="onCountrySelected($event)">
</mat-select-country>

option 2 with Reactive Forms

<form [formGroup]="countryFormGroup">
    <div fxLayoutAlign="center">
      <mat-select-country appearance="outline"
                          label="Country"
                          class="className"
                          formControlName="country"
                          (onCountrySelected)="onCountrySelected($event)">
      </mat-select-country>
    </div>
  </form>

import {Component,OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {FormControl} from '@angular/forms';

import {Country} from '@angular-material-extensions/select-country';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
  title = 'select-country';

  countryFormControl = new FormControl();
  countryFormGroup: FormGroup;

  constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) {
    angulartics2GoogleAnalytics.startTracking();
  }

  ngOnInit(): void {

    this.countryFormGroup = this.formBuilder.group({
      country: []
    });

    this.countryFormGroup.get('country').valueChanges
.subscribe(country => console
.log('this.countryFormGroup.get("country").valueChanges', country));

    this.countryFormControl.valueChanges
.subscribe(country => console
.log('this.countryFormControl.valueChanges', country));
  }


  onCountrySelected($event: Country) {
    console.log($event);
  }
}

Predefine your countries to load

<mat-select-country appearance="outline"
                    label="Country"
                    [countries]="predefinedCountries"
                    (onCountrySelected)="onCountrySelected($event)">
</mat-select-country>

import {Country} from '@angular-material-extensions/select-country';

predefinedCountries: Country[] = [
  {
    name: 'Germany',
    alpha2Code: 'DE',
    alpha3Code: 'DEU',
    numericCode: '276',
    callingCode: '+49'
  },
  {
    name: 'Greece',
    alpha2Code: 'GR',
    alpha3Code: 'GRC',
    numericCode: '300',
    callingCode: '+30'
  },
  {
    name: 'France',
    alpha2Code: 'FR',
    alpha3Code: 'FRA',
    numericCode: '250',
    callingCode: '+33'
  },
  {
    name: 'Belgium',
    alpha2Code: 'BE',
    alpha3Code: 'BEL',
    numericCode: '056',
    callingCode: '+32'
  }
];

Result:

Improve performance - use the itemsLoadSize property

<mat-select-country appearance="outline"
                    label="Country"
                    [itemsLoadSize]="5">
</mat-select-country>

only 5 countries will fetched!

Change language dynamically - use the language property

<mat-select-country appearance="outline"
                    label="Country"
                    [language]="languageSelected"
                    (onCountrySelected)="onCountrySelected($event)">
</mat-select-country>
