Angular 2+ and Observables: Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'select'

Question

EDIT: Updated Plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/fQ7P9KPjMxb5NAhccYIq?p=preview

this part works:

<div *ngFor="let entry of entries | async">
  Label: {{ entry.label }}<br>
  Value: {{ entry.value }}
</div>

but I've problems with the select box, the error message is:

Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'select'

The whole Component:

//our root app component
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {NgFor} from '@angular/common';
import {HTTP_PROVIDERS, Http} from '@angular/http';
import 'rxjs/Rx';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Rx';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  providers: [HTTP_PROVIDERS],
  template: `

  <select [(ngModel)]="selectValue" name="selectValue">
    <option *ngFor="let entry of entries | async" 
    [value]="entry.value">{{entry.label}}</option>
  </select>

    <div *ngFor="let entry of entries | async">
      Label: {{ entry.label }}<br>
      Value: {{ entry.value }}
    </div>
  `,
  directives: [NgFor]
})
export class App {

  entries: any = {};
  selectValue:any;

  constructor(private _http: Http) {
    this.entries = this._http.get("./data.json")
                            .map(res => res.json());
  }
}

and data.json

[
  {
    "timestamp": 0,
    "label": "l1",
    "value": 1
  },
  {
    "timestamp": 0,
    "label": "l2",
    "value": 2
  },
  {
    "timestamp": 0,
    "label": "l3",
    "value": 3    
  }
]

Answer 1

>= RC.5

The FormsModule needs to be imported to make ngModel available

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule /* or CommonModule */, 
  FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule],
  ...
)}
class SomeModule {}

<= RC.4

In config.js add

'@angular/forms': {
  main: 'bundles/forms.umd.js',
  defaultExtension: 'js'
},

in main.ts add

import {provideForms, disableDeprecatedForms} from '@angular/forms';

bootstrap(App, [disableDeprecatedForms(),provideForms()])

Answer 2

In app.modules.ts after

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

put:

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

And then in

imports: [
 BrowserModule
 ],

insert the FormsModule something like:

imports: [
 BrowserModule,
 FormsModule
 ],

Answer 3

This was happening to me in my testing suite, despite the fact that I'd already imported FormsModule in my component's *.module.ts file.

In my *.component.spec.ts file, I needed to add both FormsModule and ReactiveFormsModule to the imports list in configureTestingModule:

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

...
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    imports: [ 
        FormsModule, 
        ReactiveFormsModule,
        ....],
    providers: [MyComponent, ...],
    declarations: [MyComponent],
    schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
})

This fixed my case.

You need to add the following to your app.module.ts file.

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

And,

@NgModule({
   imports: [
      FormsModule,
      ...
   ]})

Answer 5

do the following you have to use [ngValue] instead of [val]

<select [(ngModel)]="selectValue">
    <option *ngFor="let entry of entries | async" 
        [ngValue]="entry.value">{{entry.label}}
    </option>
</select>

Answer 6

The above error is caused because you haven't imported FormsModule,ngModel is present in the FormsModule package so,to get rid of this error add import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms' and add FormsModule in imports in app.module.ts class.
