@Input({ required: true }) - Required inputs do not throw errors at build time

[ddamiankowalski]

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

core

Is this a regression?

No

Description

The application uses nx and @angular/core version 16.2.12, I am trying to use new features introduced in Angular version 16, specifically required inputs. When I try to do so, the component gets highlighted in my IDE with the message as I hover saying:

Missing binding for required input (name of input) of component (name of component)

Hovewer, the build is still successfull, and the application compiles successfully.

Please provide a link to a minimal reproduction of the bug

Required inputs are only checked when using the AOT compiler, and only if strictTemplates or at least fullTemplateTypeCheck is enabled (without those options, nested templates within a component are not type-checked, meaning that required inputs in nested templates aren't reported as well)

[JoostK]

Can you confirm this is the case for you as well? If not, this would require a reproduction.

This is a case for me. I am very much sorry and thank you for the prompt reply. Switching the strictTemplates option to true absolutely solves my problem.
