ionic v4 with angular - directive for input fields

Question

I would like to create a function similar to the "clearInput" directive on the ion-input component, just with another icon and functionality :)

I had a directive that worked in ionic 3 but now it is outside of the shadow dom element and not rendered.

Would be nice if anybody could point me in the right direction :)

Answer 1

Eventually I just did a custom component with an input-field, an icon and some CSS for positioning. Listening to the click event on the icon is used to trigger the desired function call.
