floatLabel property of mat-form-field doesn't work

See original GitHub issue

I use floatLabel property of mat-form-field, but it doesn’t work.

<mat-form-field [floatLabel]='always'>
        <mat-label>CyberSource Reference</mat-label>
        <input matInput placeholder="(Enter reference)" />
 </mat-form-field>

It has ‘CyberSource Reference’ as placeholder. Then it move to label on focus. Behavior doesn’t change with any value of floatLabel property. Any Ideas? MatFormFieldModule is loaded to my app. Thanks.

This is just a syntax error:

<mat-form-field floatLabel="always">

<mat-form-field [floatLabel]="'always'">
