Bug

What is the expected behavior?

Placeholder should be floating over input when setting the input value using setValue of its formControl.

What is the current behavior?

When I use setValue, the input contains the value set and the placeholder overlays the value, without floating over it. If I enter a text manually just after using setValue, the placeholder goes to the right place.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Here's a plunker that reproduces the issue:
http://plnkr.co/edit/huUsxFmbFKSZuCG92EmQ?p=preview

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

Angular: 2.3.1
material: git+https://github.com/angular/material2-builds.git but also tested on 2.0.0-beta1
Browser: Chromium 55.0.2883.87
Os: Chromium 55.0.2883.87

Fixes the input placeholder not being floating when the value is updated programmatically via `FormControl.setValue`. This was because the listener that handles the value changes gets initialized before the `FormControl`.

Fixes angular#2441.

Ha! I just came across this bug too!

In the meantime, if you are only experiencing this because the initial setting of the values is async then you could provide "dummy values" to the form controls when you create them, so that the input directive thinks that they are not empty before the setValue finally fills them.

fix(input): properly determine input value
6e0f9b2 
Right now the MdInputDirective tries to cache the `value` of the input.

> For this the MdInputDirective needs to listen for NgControl value :changes and for native `(change)` events.

This caching will be problematic when a value is set directly to the input element (using `[value]` property binding) because Angular is only able to recognize this change in the first ChangeDetection.

> The solution of updating the value in the `ngAfterViewInit` lifecycle hook, will result in a binding change (`[class.md-empty]` in the view) while being in a ChangeDetection, which leads to a ChangeDetection error.

Expression has changed after it was checked. Previous value: 'true'. Current value: 'false'.

@brunopereira27 is your plunkr working ? Because I was trying to see your issue but I have that :

So I don't see any problem.

I'm having (probably) the same problem :
image

But as your Plunkr seems to be working I'm not sure.

I'm using reactive form and patchValue tho.

Hi .. this still an issue in beta.10.. shouldnt be open?

Thanks @petebacondarwin , the workaround works! I used just a space in the string and now it loads with the initial value and correct placeholder

city: [' ', [<any>Validators.required, <any>Validators.minLength(5)]],
