After upgrade to Angular 6/Material 6 why am I facing 'mat-input-container is not a known element'?

Question

Below code was running fine before I upgraded to 6. Not sure what changed in between! I have required modules imported as well

MatInputModule,
MatSelectModule,
MatFormFieldModule

  <mat-input-container>
    <mat-select placeholder="Sort By" formControlName="sortBy">
      <mat-option *ngFor="let sortByObject of sortByList" [value]="sortByObject.value">
        {{ sortByObject.label }}
      </mat-option>
    </mat-select>
  </mat-input-container>

Answer 1

This CSS class has been removed beginning version

6.0.0-beta.5 (2018-03-23)

mat-input-container has been deprecated, instead use mat-form-field
