Angular - Reactive Forms
You added ReactiveFormsModule to your module imports but still get errors using formGroup directive. What is the most likely cause?
AYou imported <code>ReactiveFormsModule</code> in a lazy-loaded module but use it in a different module
BYou must declare <code>formGroup</code> in the component's declarations
CYou need to import <code>FormsModule</code> instead
DYou forgot to add <code>ReactiveFormsModule</code> to the component's imports
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand module scope in Angular
Modules control which directives are available in their components. Importing ReactiveFormsModule in one module does not make it available in others.
Step 2: Identify lazy-loaded module scenario
If ReactiveFormsModule is imported only in a lazy-loaded module but the component using formGroup is declared elsewhere, the directive won't be recognized.
Final Answer:
You imported ReactiveFormsModule in a lazy-loaded module but use it in a different module -> Option A
