Angular error: "Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'input'"
AngularTypescriptAngular NgmodelAngular FormsAngular Problem Overview
I'm using Angular 4 and I am getting an error in the console:
> Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'input'
How can I resolve this?
Angular Solutions
Solution 1 - Angular
In order to use two-way data binding for form inputs you need to import the FormsModule
package in your Angular module.
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
imports: [
FormsModule
]
EDIT
Since there are lot of duplicate questions with the same problem, I am enhancing this answer.
There are two possible reasons
-
Missing
FormsModule
, hence Add this to your Module,import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'; @NgModule({ imports: [ FormsModule ]
-
Check the syntax/spelling of
[(ngModel)]
in the input tag
Solution 2 - Angular
This is a right answer. you need to import 'FormsModule'
first in app.module.ts
**
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule ,
BrowserModule,
AppRoutingModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
** second in app.component.spec.ts
import { TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
describe('AppComponent', () => {
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [
RouterTestingModule,
FormsModule
],
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
}).compileComponents();
}));
Best regards and hope will be helpful.
Solution 3 - Angular
Your ngModel
is not working because it's not a part of your NgModule
yet.
You have to tell the NgModule
that you have authority to use ngModel
throughout your app, You can do it by adding FormsModule
into your app.module.ts
-> imports
-> []
.
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
imports: [ FormsModule ], // HERE
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
Solution 4 - Angular
All the above mentioned solutions to the problem are correct.
But if you are using lazy loading, FormsModule
needs to be imported in the child module which has forms in it. Adding it in app.module.ts
won't help.
Solution 5 - Angular
I ran into this error when testing my Angular 6 App with Karma/Jasmine. I had already imported FormsModule
in my top-level module. But when I added a new component that used [(ngModel)]
my tests began failing. In this case, I needed to import FormsModule
in my TestBed
TestingModule
.
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [
FormsModule
],
declarations: [
RegisterComponent
]
})
.compileComponents();
}));
Solution 6 - Angular
In app.module.ts
add this:
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [FormsModule],
})
Solution 7 - Angular
After spending hours on this issue found solution here
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
imports: [
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule
]
})
Solution 8 - Angular
The Answer for me was wrong spelling of ngModel
. I had it written like this : ngModule
while it should be ngModel
.
All other attempts obviously failed to resolve the error for me.
Solution 9 - Angular
I tried all the thing that are mentioned above, but still it is not working.
but finally I found the issue in Angular site.Try to import formModule in module.ts thats it.
Solution 10 - Angular
Add FormsModule
in your NgModule
imports (hence ngModel
is a part of FormsModule
).
> Note it can be AppModule
or feature module loaded lazily via lazy loading.
imports: [
...,
FormsModule,
...
]
Solution 11 - Angular
Try adding
>ngModel in module level
The code is same as the above
Solution 12 - Angular
Update with Angular 7.x.x, encounter the same issue in one of my modules.
If it lies in your independent module, add these extra modules:
import { CommonModule } from "@angular/common";
import { FormsModule } from "@angular/forms";
@NgModule({
imports: [CommonModule, FormsModule], // the order can be random now;
...
})
If it lies in your app.module.ts
, add these modules:
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
imports: [ FormsModule, BrowserModule ], // order can be random now
...
})
A simple demo to prove the case.
Solution 13 - Angular
In my case I added the missing import, which was the ReactiveFormsModule
.
Solution 14 - Angular
If you want to use two-way data binding for form inputs you need to import theFormsModule package in your Angular module. For more info see the Angular 2 official tutorial here and the official documentation for forms
in the app.module.ts add below lines :
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
[...]
@NgModule({
imports: [
[...]
FormsModule
],
[...]
})
Solution 15 - Angular
You should verify following things if the two way binding does not work.
> In html the ngModel should be called this way. There is no dependency on other attribute of the input element
<input [(ngModel)]="inputText">
> Make Sure FormsModule is imported into the modules file app.modules.ts
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
HomeComponent // suppose, this is the component in which you are trying to use two ay binding
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
// other modules
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
> Make sure the component in which you are trying to use ngModel for two way binding is added in the declarations of the. Code added in the previous point #2
This is everything that you need to do to make the two way binding using ngModel work, this is validated up to angular 9
Solution 16 - Angular
import form module in app.module.ts.
import { FormsModule} from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
ContactsComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,HttpModule,FormsModule //Add here form module
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
In html:
<input type="text" name="last_name" [(ngModel)]="last_name" [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" class="form-control">
Solution 17 - Angular
In my case I misspelled , I was referring as ngmodel istead of ngModel :) Hope It helps!
Expected - [(ngModel)] Actual - [(ngmodel)]
Solution 18 - Angular
in angular 7, you have to import "ReactiveFormsModule".
import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from '@angular/forms';
I solved this issue by this import.It would help you.
Solution 19 - Angular
first import FormsModule and then use ngModel in your component.ts
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
imports: [
FormsModule
];
HTML Code:
<input type='text' [(ngModel)] ="usertext" />
Solution 20 - Angular
If even after importing the formsmodule the problem persists, check that your Input does not have a "name" attribute with value equal to another input on page.
Solution 21 - Angular
In my case, during a lazy-loading conversion of my application I had incorrectly imported the RoutingModule
instead of my ComponentModule
inside app-routing.module.ts
