How to style mat-option text to get the text outside mat-select panel on hovering over every mat-option text

I want to style hovering on each mat-option text, I wan the text to displayed outside mat-option. In order to achieve this, I applied z-index of very high value, but nothing changed. I tried add z-index to higher value but this hasn't worked out.

I was inspired by the following stackblitz link

This is the current behaviour

template.html

<mat-form-field [style.cursor]="pointer"  [style.width.px]=450 >
  <input  id="inputCustomer" matInput [matAutocomplete]="auto"  [formControl]="customerFilterControl" [(ngModel)]="customerName">

   <mat-autocomplete  style="left:775px;" #auto="matAutocomplete" [displayWith] = "displayFn" >
    <mat-option  (onSelectionChange)="onCustomerChange(customer)" [value] ="customer.AccountID +' '+'('+ customer.AccountName + ')'">
       <span>{{customerName}}</span>
  <span id="para2">{{customerName}}</span>
    </mat-option>
</mat-autocomplete>

template.ts

  customer:Array<any>;
  filteredOptions: Observable<any[]>;
  customerFilterControl = new FormControl();
customer =[
{
AccountID :1,
AccountName:"account1"

{
 AccountID:2,
 AccountName:"account2"
},
{
 AccountID:3,
 AccountName:"Earliest_Creation_Date_Ent_Tests_id7 (Earliest_Creation_Date_Ent_Tests_id7accountName)"
}

  displayFn(subject) {
    return subject ? subject : undefined;  
  }


onCustomerChange(customer) {
this.filteredOptions = this.customerFilterControl.valueChanges.pipe(
  startWith(''),
  map(value => this._filter(value))
 );  
}


  _filter(value:any):any[] {

    const filterValue = value;
    return this.customers.filter(function (option) {
       if(option.AccountID.includes(filterValue) | option.AccountName.includes(filterValue)) {
          return option;
        }
    }); 
  }

.mat-option:hover {

            position: relative !important;
            overflow: visible !important;
            text-align: left;
            top:0px;
            right:50px !important;
            background-color: #232F34;
            color:#FFFFFF;
            border: 5px !important;
            font-size:11px;


        }
    }
}
Solution

  • Have you considered using matTooltip for each mat-option when hovering above each option?

    Add a 

    matTooltip="{{state.name}} | Population: {{state.population}}"

    on mat-option and the angular material does the rest.
