Angular Flex Layout - Not working

Question

I tried to use 2.0.0-beta.9 in my app, a simple test doesn't work

<div fxLayout="row">
    <div>1. One</div> <div>2. Two</div> <div>3. Three</div> <div>4. Four</div>
</div>

displays columns instead of rows

I think I am importing the library properly

import {Component, NgModule} from '@angular/core'
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'

import {FlexLayoutModule} from "@angular/flex-layout";

import {TestApp} from "./test-app";

@NgModule({
  imports: [ 
    BrowserModule,
    FlexLayoutModule
  ],
  declarations: [ TestApp ],
  bootstrap: [ TestApp ]
})
export class TestAppModule {

}

I also got like that problems when I install the lasted flex-layout module. The problems is directive name changes. In website, all of the directive are like layout, layout-xs, flex etc...

According to my solution, directive name are changed to fx + PascalCase.

Example

layout -> fxLayout
flex -> fxFlex
flex-order -> fxFlexOrder
flex-order-gt-md -> fxFlexOrder.gt-md

If you check Layout and Container, you will see as below image.

Change above source code to as the following, it is OK for me.

<div fxLayout="row">
    <div fxFlex>First item in row</div>
    <div fxFlex>Second item in row</div>
</div>
<div fxLayout="column">
    <div fxFlex>First item in column</div>
    <div fxFlex>Second item in column</div>
</div>

I ran into this issue too and the cause was me using multiple modules and I forgot to import the FlexLayoutModule in my "PagesModule" modules.

It would work on the main page because it was imported at the top level (AppModule) and not on the child modules.

Importing it in the "PagesModule" and restarting the development server fixed it for me.
