Usage

1. Import PlaceholderAutoHideModule :

Once you have installed ngx-placeholder-auto-hide, you can import it in your AppModule:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

// Import  PlaceholderAutoHideModule
import { PlaceholderAutoHideModule } from "ngx-placeholder-auto-hide";

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    // Specify PlaceholderAutoHideModule as an import
    PlaceholderAutoHideModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
