I'm not using Angular anymore so I'm not sure, but I believe you can use a previous version of this gist: https://gist.github.com/AlejandroPerezMartin/ecd014cb8104c235b582f3a3e1649cf7/0bff5561689e5cbbfa878fab3bc2ec716e58eb58

In my case, it has to be wrapped with setTimout() like this otherwise the timing messes up with it to function properly:

@HostListener('click')
onClick() {
setTimeout(() => this.elRef.nativeElement.blur());
}
