Angular 2 two way binding using ngModel is not working

Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a know property of the 'input' element and there are no matching directives with a corresponding property

Note: im using alpha.31

import { Component, View, bootstrap } from 'angular2/angular2'

@Component({
	selector: 'data-bind'
})
@View({
	template:`
		<input id="name" type="text" 
			[ng-model]="name" 
			(ng-model)="name = $event" />
		{{ name }}
	` 
})
class DataBinding {	
	name: string;
	
	constructor(){
		this.name = 'Jose';
	}
}

bootstrap(DataBinding);

Angular has released its final version on 15th of September. Unlike Angular 1 you can use ngModel directive in Angular 2 for two way data binding, but you need write it in a bit different way like [(ngModel)] (Banana in a box syntax). Almost all angular2 core directives doesn't support kebab-case now instead you should use camelCase.

> Now ngModel directive belongs to FormsModule, that's why you should import the FormsModule from @angular/forms module inside imports metadata option of AppModule(NgModule). Thereafter you can use ngModel directive inside on your page.

app/app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<h1>My First Angular 2 App</h1>
    <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="myModel"/>
    {{myModel}}
  `
})
export class AppComponent { 
  myModel: any;
}

app/app.module.ts

import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent }   from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, FormsModule ], //< added FormsModule here
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})

export class AppModule { }

app/main.ts

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

const platform = platformBrowserDynamic();
platform.bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Key Points:

1. ngModel in angular2 is valid only if the FormsModule is available as a part of your AppModule.

2. ng-model is syntatically wrong.

3. square braces [..] refers to the property binding.

4. circle braces (..) refers to the event binding.

5. when square and circle braces are put together as [(..)] refers two way binding, commonly called banana box.

So, to fix your error.

Step 1: Importing FormsModule

import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms'

Step 2: Add it to imports array of your AppModule as

imports :[ ... , FormsModule ]

Step 3: Change ng-model as ngModel with banana boxes as

 <input id="name" type="text" [(ngModel)]="name" />

Note: Also, you can handle the two way databinding separately as well as below

<input id="name" type="text" [ngModel]="name" (ngModelChange)="valueChange($event)"/>

valueChange(value){
   
}

In my case, I was missing a "name" attribute on my input element.

As per Angular2 final, you do not even have to import FORM_DIRECTIVES as suggested above by many. However, the syntax has been changed as kebab-case was dropped for the betterment.

Just replace ng-model with ngModel and wrap it in a box of bananas. But you have spilt the code into two files now:

app.ts:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'ng-app',
  template: `
    <input id="name" type="text" [(ngModel)]="name"  />
    {{ name }}
  `
})
export class DataBindingComponent {
  name: string;

  constructor() {
    this.name = 'Jose';
  }
}

app.module.ts:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { DataBindingComponent } from './app'; //app.ts above

@NgModule({
  declarations: [DataBindingComponent],
  imports:      [BrowserModule, FormsModule],
  bootstrap:    [DataBindingComponent]
})
export default class MyAppModule {}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(MyAppModule);

The answer that helped me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38886276/the-directive-ngmodel-not-working-anymore-in-rc5

To sum it up: input fields now require property name in the form.

In the app.module.ts

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

Later in the @NgModule decorator's import:

@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule
]

})

Note : To allow the ngModel exists Independently inside reactive form, we have to use ngModelOptions as follows:

 [ngModelOptions]="{ standalone: true }"

For Example :

 <mat-form-field appearance="outline" class="w-100">
            <input
              matInput 
              [(ngModel)]="accountType"
              [ngModelOptions]="{ standalone: true }"
            />
 </mat-form-field>

Angular 2 Beta

This answer is for those who use Javascript for angularJS v.2.0 Beta.

To use ngModel in your view you should tell the angular's compiler that you are using a directive called ngModel.

How?

To use ngModel there are two libraries in angular2 Beta, and they are ng.common.FORM_DIRECTIVES and ng.common.NgModel.

Actually ng.common.FORM_DIRECTIVES is nothing but group of directives which are useful when you are creating a form. It includes NgModel directive also.

app.myApp = ng.core.Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    templateUrl: 'App/Pages/myApp.html',
    directives: [ng.common.NgModel] // specify all your directives here
}).Class({
    constructor: function () {
        this.myVar = {};
        this.myVar.text = "Testing";
    },
    
});

For newer versions of Angular:

1. -write it as [(ngModel)] = yourSearch

2. declare a empty variable(property) named as yourSearch in .ts file

3. add FormsModule in app.module.ts file from - @angular/forms;

4. if your application is running, then restart it as you made changes in its module.ts file

These things are missing/ Wrong:

• Import FormsModule in imports array of module (ngModel requires FormsModule)
• ngModel is written as: [(ngModel)]="modelName"

This way, It will work fine!

instead of ng-model you can use this code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<input #box (keyup)="0">
    <p>{{box.value}}</p>`,
})
export class AppComponent  {}

inside your app.component.ts

Add below code to following files.

app.component.ts

<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="fname" >
{{fname}}
export class appcomponent {
fname:any;
}

app.module.ts

import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
imports: [ BrowserModule,FormsModule ],
declarations: [ AppComponent],
bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})

Hope this helps

import FormsModule in your AppModule to work with two way binding [(ngModel)] with your

if you are using lazy loading module, you need to import ngModule and formModule in the current module. example:

//shared.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms'

imports: [
    FormsModule,]
