[Suresh918]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

What is the expected behavior?

There is no required attribute/field in autocomplete component, so i am unable to add required validation on autocomplete.

What is the current behavior?

There is no required attribute in autocomplete component.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Providing a Plunker (or similar) is the best way to get the team to see your issue.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

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

Is there anything else we should know?

The autocomplete component is supposed to be used with an , so add your validation code there.

@CDDelta's comment probably had html in it, so

The autocomplete doesn't concern itself with the underlying input's validators. Either use Validators.required on your form control or make the <input /> required.

I think what he wants is something like md-require-match that is present in Autocomplete's AngularJs Material.
