title: clientWidth of element is 0 unless I set it with css
body: <p>How can I get an elements width <strong>without</strong> setting it's width property in CSS? If I set the width it works, but if I don't the width is just 0 even though I can see it's not after inspecting with debugger.</p>
  
  <pre><code>let width = this.htmlElement.clientWidth;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>HTML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;label [model]="foobar"&gt;0&lt;/label&gt;
  </code></pre>
