predefined [countries] input not working

[SnappingTurtle]

I rolled back to version 1.0.1 so that I could overcome the bug where default input label does not show on first render, but now, I am trying to input a predefined countries list (to overcome terrible performance) and it does not recognize the countries list input.

To Reproduce
Add a select-country component to your layout.
configure with [countries]="predefinedCountries" to show a subset of countries.
configure a list in your controller predefinedCountries: Country[] = {...} with a short list.

Expected behavior
I would expect the control to show the short list of predefined countries.
However, the entire list (slow loading) of countries is still present.

Screenshots

Additional context
Is this input supported in version 1.0.1 or was it added in later versions?

@KingDarBoja you have right! Please when using the newest version 3.0.0 please use [value] instead of [country]

Finally, I've released a new major version of the library 3.0.0
