Angular 6 error show to 'mat-form-field' is not a known element:

Question

Hi I am using angular 6 and my code is as follows:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common'; import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';     import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { AppRoutingModule } from './app.routing.module';   import { MatButtonModule, MatFormFieldModule, MatInputModule, MatRippleModule } from '@angular/material'; //import { MaterialModule } from 'src/app/et-shared/material.module';   const modules = [   MatButtonModule,   MatFormFieldModule,   MatInputModule,   MatRippleModule ];  @NgModule({   declarations: [     AppComponent,   ],   imports: [     BrowserModule,     BrowserAnimationsModule,     CommonModule,     RouterModule,     AppRoutingModule,    // MaterialModule,    ...modules    ],   exports:[     ...modules   ],   providers: [],   bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { } 

and html like this

<div class="example-container">   <mat-form-field>     <input matInput placeholder="Input">   </mat-form-field>    <mat-form-field>     <textarea matInput placeholder="Textarea"></textarea>   </mat-form-field>    <mat-form-field>     <mat-select placeholder="Select">       <mat-option value="option">Option</mat-option>     </mat-select>   </mat-form-field> </div> 

my package like this

"dependencies": {     "@angular/animations": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/cdk": "^6.0.1",     "@angular/common": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/compiler": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/core": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/forms": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/http": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/material": "^6.0.1",     "@angular/platform-browser": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^6.0.0",     "@angular/router": "^6.0.0",     "core-js": "^2.5.4",     "hammerjs": "^2.0.8",     "rxjs": "^6.0.0",     "zone.js": "^0.8.26"   }, 

and I get to this error

Answer 1

Looking at your error ng:///AppRoutingModule/LoginComponent.html@11:2

I can conclude that you declared LoginComponent in AppRoutingModule but didn't import MatFormFieldModule there.

Either move LoginComponent to the declarations array of AppModule:

@NgModule({   declarations: [     AppComponent,     LoginComponent   ],   ... }) export class AppModule { } 

or import MatFormFieldModule or some SharedModule in AppRoutingModule:

@NgModule({   declarations: [     LoginComponent,     ...   ],   imports: [     MatFormFieldModule // or SharedModule that exports MatFormFieldModule     ...   ]   ... }) export class AppRoutingModule { }
