You can create custom directive to get input element reference then call focus method on it.

Try this:

import { Directive,ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core/src/metadata';

@Directive({
  selector: '[appAutoFocus]'
})
export class AutoFocusDirective implements AfterViewInit {

  constructor(private element:ElementRef) {}

   ngAfterViewInit(){
     this.element.nativeElement.focus();
   }
}
