Topic: Placeholder for Searchable Select
Hi. I'm using the Angular version of MdBootstrap, and I'm trying to add a placeholder to a searchable select component. I notice that the placeholder is available on the regular Bootstrap version, but I don't see it for the Angular version.
Here is a screenshot of what I'm trying to achieve:
Here's a screenshot of what I currently have :
I want to know if it's possible to add a placeholder within the search. Thank you
This feature is not supported in the Angular version. As you can see in the examples of jquery/vanilla version, this is not a real placeholder but only an additional, disabled option. This is a common way of adding a placeholder to the native HTML select that is used in this project.

Thank you for your response, however I was referencing the 'Search Here' placeholder in the screenshot I sent. Is there a way to add that for the Angular version of MdBootstrap?

In this case you can use filterPlaceholder input on <mdb-select> component. For example: <mdb-select [filterPlaceholder]="'Your placeholder'">.
If you use a newer version of the component (mdb-select-2) add use placeholder input of the <mdb-select-filter component.
