angular material No provider for MatDialog! Error

Question

I am trying to use the Angular material module to open a model on click of a button. I have followed the example as suggested in the https://material.angular.io/components/dialog/examples.

However, I see that as try to run the application, I see the following error -

errors.js:48 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: StaticInjectorError[MatDialog]:

I have the following setup of the project files

app.module.ts

I have imported the MatDialogModule and also placed the same in the imports. Within the Entry components, I have added the component that needs to be rendered in the modal.

import { MatDialogModule } from '@angular/material/dialog';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, FormsModule, NgbModule.forRoot(), ReactiveFormsModule, 
                  HttpClientModule, routing, MatTabsModule, MatDialogModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent, AppHeaderComponent, SignInComponent, RecruitmentHomeComponent, JobTemplatesComponent, CreateJobTemplateComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ],
  entryComponents: [CreateJobTemplateComponent],
  providers: [AuthGuard, UserService, AuthenticationService]
})

Code in job-templates.component.ts

This is the file which is responsible for invoking the model on click of a button added to its template.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CreateJobTemplateComponent } from './create-job-template/create-job-template.component';
import { MatDialog } from '@angular/material';


@Component({
  selector: 'app-job-templates',
  templateUrl: './job-templates.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./job-templates.component.css']
})
export class JobTemplatesComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor(public dialog: MatDialog) { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

  createjobtemplate(){
    let dialogRef = this.dialog.open(CreateJobTemplateComponent, {
      width: '250px'
    });
    //Set the dialogRef property of opened dialog with the obtained ref
    dialogRef.componentInstance.dialogRef = dialogRef;
  }

}

create-job-template.component.ts

This component will render itself in the modal dialog.

import { Component, Inject, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MatDialogRef } from '@angular/material';
import { FormGroup, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-create-job-template',
  templateUrl: './create-job-template.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./create-job-template.component.css']
})
export class CreateJobTemplateComponent implements OnInit {

  form: FormGroup;

  constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder, public dialogRef: MatDialogRef<CreateJobTemplateComponent>) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.form = this.formBuilder.group({
      filename: ''
    })
  }

  submit(form) {
    this.dialogRef.close(`${form.value.filename}`);
  }

}

Can anyone let me know where I am going wrong here? Most of the errors that I have looked for talk about failure to Inject MatDialogRef, but I find this error for MatDialog.

Also I was looking through this blog as well to make sure I followed the same steps. https://blog.thoughtram.io/angular/2017/11/13/easy-dialogs-with-angular-material.html

Had the same error. Turns out I was importing

import { MatDialog } from '@angular/material';

Should have been

import { MatDialog } from '@angular/material/dialog';
