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

[inyryaev]

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.

"@angular/material": "^5.0.4"

This is just a syntax error:

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

or

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