from ej2-inputs library as shown below.

import {Input} from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';

Pass the HTML Input element as parameter to the createInput method.
You can also add the icons on the input by passing buttons property value with the class name e-input-group-icon as parameter to the createInput method.

index.ts
index.html
styles.css
// To get the all input fields and its container.

let inputElement = document.querySelectorAll('.e-input-group .e-input,.e-float-input.e-input-group input');

// Add 'e-input-focus' class to the input for achive ripple effect when focus on the input field.

for (let i = 0; i < inputElement.length; i++) {
    inputElement[i].addEventListener("focus", function () {
        this.parentNode.classList.add('e-input-focus')
    });
    inputElement[i].addEventListener("blur", function () {
        this.parentNode.classList.remove('e-input-focus')
    });
}

// Add 'e-input-btn-ripple' class to the icon element for achive ripple effect when click on the icon.

var inputIcon = document.querySelectorAll('.e-input-group-icon');
for (let i = 0; i < inputIcon.length; i++) {
    inputIcon[i].addEventListener('mousedown', function () {
        this.classList.add('e-input-btn-ripple');
    });
    inputIcon[i].addEventListener('mouseup', function () {
        var element = this;
        setTimeout(function () {
            element.classList.remove('e-input-btn-ripple');
        }, 500);
    });
}


import { Input, InputObject } from  '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';

let inputObj: InputObject;

let element: HTMLInputElement = <HTMLInputElement> document.createElement('input');
document.getElementById('input-container').appendChild(element);
Input.createInput({
    element: element,
    properties:{
        placeholder:'Enter Name'
    }
});

let element1: HTMLInputElement = <HTMLInputElement>document.createElement('input');
document.getElementById('input-container').appendChild(element1);
Input.createInput({
    element: element1,
    buttons: ['e-input-group-icon e-input-down'],
    properties:{
        placeholder:'Enter Value'
    }
});
