Angular2 - Focusing a textbox on component load

Question

I am developing a component in Angular2 (Beta 8). The component has a textbox and a dropdown. I would like to set the focus in textbox as soon as component is loaded or on change event of dropdown. How would I achieve this in angular2. Following is Html for the component.

<div>
    <form role="form" class="form-horizontal ">        
        <div [ngClass]="{showElement:IsEditMode, hidden:!IsEditMode}">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label class="control-label col-md-1 col-sm-1" for="name">Name</label>
                <div class="col-md-7 col-sm-7">
                    <input id="name" type="text" [(ngModel)]="person.Name" class="form-control" />

                </div>
                <div class="col-md-2 col-sm-2">
                    <input type="button" value="Add" (click)="AddPerson()" class="btn btn-primary" />
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div [ngClass]="{showElement:!IsEditMode, hidden:IsEditMode}">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label class="control-label col-md-1 col-sm-1" for="name">Person</label>
                <div class="col-md-7 col-sm-7">
                    <select [(ngModel)]="SelectedPerson.Id"  (change)="PersonSelected($event.target.value)" class="form-control">
                        <option *ngFor="#item of PeopleList" value="{{item.Id}}">{{item.Name}}</option>
                    </select>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>        
    </form>
</div>

Answer 1

<input id="name" type="text" #myInput />
{{ myInput.focus() }}

this is the best and simplest way, because code "myInput.focus()" runs after input created
