Angular importing FormsModule in app.module vs child.module


I'm using Angular with lazy loading modules. Each component has its own module. If I import a module in the root module (app.module) it must work fine. For example, I imported HttpClientModule in app.module and can use it in child components.

But about FormsModule, this doesn't work fine. I must import it in the child module, otherwise, I get the following errors:

Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'input'. ("

Do you have any idea why this happens?


Solution

  • I found the answer here:

    • if the module is imported for components, you’ll need to import it in each module needing them,
    • if the module is imported for services, you’ll need to import it only once, in the first app module.
