angular2 rc5 + plunker : XHR error (404) loading https://npmcdn.com/@angular/src/forms when using ngModel

Question

for using ngModel directive, I included

• import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

• @NgModule({ imports: [ BrowserModule, FormsModule ], ... })

as mentioned here. But now I'm getting xhr error for loading @angular/forms from npmcdn (guess it won't be there) while using plunker. any idea on what to include in plunker ?

Answer 1

Add to app.component.ts:

import { NgModel } from '@angular/forms'

and

providers: [NgModel],

to the @Component({...})

Answer 2

Make sure to have 'forms' specified in ngPackageNames in config file

    var ngPackageNames = [
  'common',
  'compiler',
  'core',
  'forms',
  'http',
  'platform-browser',
  'platform-browser-dynamic',
  'router',
  'router-deprecated',
  'upgrade',
];
