No provider for ControlContainer - Angular 5
I am converting a purchased, third-party template into an Angular 5 app, and just ran into an error. I am very new to Angular 5 (I know AngularJS well however) and don't understand what it's trying to tell me? It seems to be related to a button which shows/hides the top navbar.
Error Message (from browser):
Error: Template parse errors:
No provider for ControlContainer ("imalize-styl-2 btn btn-primary " (click)="toggleNavigation()"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> </a>
[ERROR ->]<form role="search" class="navbar-form-custom" method="post" action="#">

component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { smoothlyMenu } from '../../../app.helpers';
declare var jQuery: any;
@Component({
selector: 'app-top-navigation-navbar',
templateUrl: './top-navigation-navbar.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./top-navigation-navbar.component.less']
})
export class TopNavigationNavbarComponent implements OnInit {
toggleNavigation(): void {
jQuery('body').toggleClass('mini-navbar');
smoothlyMenu();
}
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
}
}
app.module.ts (this seems to be something a mentioned a lot when I google this, however it is not the Form throwing the error.)
...
import { ReactiveFormsModule, FormControl, FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
...
Solution 1:
import FormsModule
in addition to ReactiveFormsModule
Solution 2:
Import FormsModule
and ReactiveFormsModule in views.module.ts
(custome module file) file works for me :
views.module.ts
import { NgModule, NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
imports: [
CommonModule,
RouterModule,
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule,
...
],
declarations: [
...
],
exports: [
...
],
schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA]
})
export class ViewsModule { }
