No value accessor for from control

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Bug

What is the expected behavior?

There should be an value accessor.

What is the current behavior?

main.987e5bf….bundle.js:17 EXCEPTION: No value accessor for form control with name: 'username'

What are the steps to reproduce?

This bug occurs only if you run ng build --prod.

Use angular-cli@webpack to create a new project.

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { MdCardModule } from '@angular2-material/card/card';
import { MdInputModule } from '@angular2-material/input/input';
import { MdButtonModule } from '@angular2-material/button/button';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    CommonModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    MdCardModule,
    MdInputModule,
    MdButtonModule,
  ],
  providers: [],
  entryComponents: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {

}

<form [formGroup]="form">
  <md-card>
    <md-card-title>{{title}}</md-card-title>
    <md-card-content>
      <md-input placeholder="Username" formControlName="username"></md-input>
      <md-input placeholder="Password" formControlName="password"></md-input>
    </md-card-content>
    <md-card-actions align="end">
      <button md-button color="primary" type="submit">LOGIN</button>
    </md-card-actions>
  </md-card>
</form>

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Build an Angular2 app with prod flag.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

Angular@RC.5, Angular-CLI@webpack.2, Material@alpha.7-2, OSX 10.11.5

Is there anything else we should know?

As mentioned above, this only happens with the prod flag

You are missing the FormsModule import from @angular/forms I think. ReactiveModule is not enough afaik.

[cschroeter]

I think I had a reference on FormModules at some point. But If it is really needed here, it should not work in dev mod either

I'm also getting this error using ngModel on an input that is not even inside of a form.

<md-input placeholder="Track ID" [(ngModel)]="data.track_id"></md-input>
<md-input placeholder="Cover URL" [(ngModel)]="data.cover_url"></md-input>

Getting the error No value accessor for form control with unspecified name within browser_adapter.js.

I have FormsModule and I just tested with ReactiveFormsModule as well after reading this thread. Still getting the same error.

EDIT: I replaced md-input with a regular input tag and the page works as expected, this is defintely an issue with angular/material2.

These work fine:

<input placeholder="Track ID" [(ngModel)]="data.track_id"/>
<input placeholder="Cover URL" [(ngModel)]="data.cover_url"/>

@YeomansIII I also got the error No value accessor for form control with unspecified name
It was resolved by importing FormsModule and ReactiveFormsModule

@cschroeter is this still happening with the latest version of webpack angular-cli?

[cschroeter]

@jelbourn works with angular-cli@webpack.MASTER (npm link), @angular/** 2.0.0-rc.6 and @angular2-material/*: 2.0.0-alpha.8-1

Still getting this in the md-select control using @angular/** 2.2.1.

[maxime1992]

With material 2.0.0-beta.3 we now have to import every modules one by one and I forgot MdSelectModule which gave me this error. (might help someone)

[jshrssll]

Still getting this with md-radio-button

[ltfleming]

Also having this with md-radio-button

Find out that some other missing material modules can be the cause of this issue. I was getting this error because I forgot to import MatCheckboxModule, but the error points to a line where there is a [value] attribute in a mat-option in a mat-select

I am also getting the same error for md-select, earlier it was working fine.

I'm getting this same error when testing md-checkbox together with reactive forms like this. When I build or run the app in dev mode it works as expected.

<mat-checkbox
  id="allDay"
  type="checkbox"
  formControlName="allDay">
      <!-- i18n: @@event.allDay -->All Day Event?<!-- /i18n -->
</mat-checkbox>

The error is:

Failed: No value accessor for form control with name: 'allDay'

      at debugCheckDirectivesFn <path_to_my_project>/node_modules/@angular/core/@angular/core.es5.js:13090:1)

Code works for <mat-form-field> without problems:

<mat-form-field>
  <input
    matInput
    type="text"
    formControlName="name">
</mat-form-field>

Is this still a bug or do I miss something?

Add ngDefaultControl to the custom-input component. This adds two-way databinding, you shouldn't have to implement the value accessor methods unless you are doing something unique.

<custom-input name="firstName" [(ngModel)]="firstName" ngDefaultControl></custom-input>
