Sometimes you get this error when you try to use a component from a module  which is not shared  in a different module   For example  you have 2 modules with module1 componentA component ts and module2 componentC component ts and you try to use the selector from module1 componentA component ts in a template inside module2  e g   lt module1-componentA  someInputVariableInModule1   variableFromHTTPRequestInModule2  gt     it will throw the error that the someInputVariableInModule1 is not available inside module1 componentA component ts - even though you have the  Input   someInputVariableInModule1 in the module1 componentA   If this happens  you want to share the module1 componentA to be accessible in other modules  So if you share the module1 componentA inside a sharedModule  the module1 componentA will be usable inside other modules  outside from module1   and every module importing the sharedModule will be able to access the selector in their templates injecting the  Input   declared variable

There are two steps you need to follow to get rid of this error   import FormsModule in your app module Pass it as value of imports in  NgModule decorator  Basically  file app module ts should look like below      import   NgModule        from   angular core       import   BrowserModule   from   angular platform-browser       import   FormsModule     from   angular forms       import   AppComponent    from    app component       import  AppChildComponent  from    appchild component        NgModule         imports         BrowserModule FormsModule          declarations    AppComponent  AppChildComponent          bootstrap       AppComponent              export class AppModule

This error will happen too even if the FormsModule is imported directly or indirectly  from a shared module for example  in the feature module  if the imported component is not declared on declarations   I followed Deborah Kurata s Angular Routing course  While I added the imported component ProductEditInfoComponent on Angular Route s component property  I forgot to add ProductEditInfoComponent on declarations property  Adding the ProductEditInfoComponent on the declarations property would solve the NG8002  Can t bind to  ngModel  since it isn t a known property of  input   problem

ngModel should be imported from  angular forms because it is the part of FormsModule  So I advice you to change your app module ts in something like this  import   FormsModule   from   angular forms            NgModule     imports                  FormsModule

Assuming you have created a new NgModule  say AuthModule dedicated to handling your authentication needs  make sure to import FormsModule in that AuthModule too  If you ll be using the FormsModule only in the AuthModule then you wouldn t need to import the FormModule in the default AppModule  So something like this in the AuthModule  import   NgModule        from   angular core   import   FormsModule   from   angular forms    import   authRouting   from    auth routing   import   LoginComponent  SignupComponent   from    auth component     NgModule     imports             authRouting      FormsModule         declarations        SignupComponent      LoginComponent        export class AuthModule      Then forget about importing in AppModule if you don t use the FormsModule anywhere else

ngModel is coming from FormsModule  There are some cases when you can receive this kind of error   You didn t import the FormsModule into the import array of modules where your component is declared - the component in which the ngModel is used  You have import the FormsModule into one module which is inherited of another module  In this case you have two options    let the FormsModule be imported into the import array from both modules module1 and module2  As the rule   Importing a module does not provide access to its imported modules   Imports are not inherited    declare the FormsModule into the import and export arrays in module1 to be able to see it in model2 also      In some version I faced this problem  You have imported the FormsModule correctly  but the problem is on the input HTML tag  You must add the name tag attribute for the input  and the object bound name in   ngModel   must be the same as the name into the name attribute

Though the answer solves the issue  I would like to provide a little more information on this topic as I have also undergone this issue when I started to work on Angular projects  A beginner should understand that there are two main types of forms  They are Reactive forms and Template-driven forms  From Angular 2 onward  it is recommended to use Reactive forms for any kind of forms  Reactive forms are more robust  they re more scalable  reusable  and testable  If forms are a key part of your application  or you re already using reactive patterns for building your application  use reactive forms  Template-driven forms are useful for adding a simple form to an application  such as an email list signup form  They re easy to add to an application  but they don t scale as well as reactive forms  If you have very basic form requirements and logic that can be managed solely in the template  use template-driven forms  Refer Angular documents for more details  Coming to the question    ngModel    quot     quot  is basically a binding syntax  In order to use this in your component HTML page  you should import FormsModule in your NgModule  where your component is present   Now   ngModel   is used for a simple two-way binding or this is used in your form for any input HTML element  On the other hand  to use reactive forms  import ReactiveFormsModule from the  angular forms package and add it to your NgModule s imports array  For example  if my component HTML content does not have   ngmodel   in any HTML element  then I don t need to import FormsModule  In my below example  I have completely used Reactive Forms and hence I don t need to use FormsModule in my NgModule  Create GroupsModule  import   NgModule   from   angular core   import   CommonModule   from   angular common   import   GroupsRoutingModule  routedAccountComponents   from    groups-routing module   import   ReactiveFormsModule   from   angular forms   import   SharedModule   from     shared

For using   ngModel   in Angular 2  4  amp  5   you need to import FormsModule from Angular form    Also  it is in this path under forms in the Angular repository on GitHub   angular   packages   forms   src   directives   ng model ts  Probably this is not a very pleasurable for the AngularJS developers as you could use ng-model everywhere anytime before  but as Angular tries to separate modules to use whatever you d like you to want to use at the time  ngModel is in FormsModule now  Also  if you are using ReactiveFormsModule it needs to import it too  So simply look for app module ts and make sure you have FormsModule imported in    import   BrowserModule   from   angular platform-browser   import   NgModule   from   angular core   import   FormsModule   from   angular forms        lt  lt  lt  lt  import it here import   AppComponent   from    app component     NgModule     declarations        AppComponent        imports        BrowserModule  FormsModule     lt  lt  lt  lt  And here        providers        bootstrap   AppComponent      export class AppModule      Also  these are the current starting comments for Angular4 ngModel in FormsModule          ngModel  forces an additional change detection run when its inputs change     E g              lt div gt   myModel valid   lt  div gt      lt input   ngModel    quot myValue quot   myModel  quot ngModel quot  gt            I e   ngModel  can export itself on the element and then be used in the template     Normally  this would result in expressions before the  input  that use the exported directive    to have and old value as they have been    dirty checked before  As this is a very common case for  ngModel   we added this second change    detection run        Notes     - this is just one extra run no matter how many  ngModel  have been changed     - this is a general problem when using  exportAs  for directives       If you d like to use your input  not in a form  you can use it with ngModelOptions and make standalone true     ngModelOptions   quot  standalone  true  quot   For more information  look at ng model in the Angular section here

Sometimes  even though we are already imported BrowserModule  FormsModule and other related modules  we still may get the same error  Then I realized that we need to import them in order  which is missed in my case  So the order should be like  BrowserModule  FormsModule  and ReactiveFormsModule  As per my understanding  feature modules should follow the basic modules of Angular  import   BrowserModule   from   angular platform-browser   import   NgModule   from   angular core   import   FormsModule   from   angular forms   import   AppComponent   from    app component     NgModule     imports        BrowserModule      FormsModule      ReactiveFormsModule        providers        declarations        AppComponent        bootstrap   AppComponent     export class AppModule
