Angular : If ngModel is used within a form tag, either the name attribute must be set

Dung Do Tien Jun 19 2021 317

In a small Angular project. I have a login form as below:

<div class="app-body">
    <main class="main d-flex align-items-center">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-8 mx-auto">
                <div class="card-group">
                <div class="card p-4">
                    <div class="card-body">
                    <form>
                        <h1>Login</h1>
                        <p class="text-muted">Sign In to your account</p>
                        <div class="input-group mb-3">
                            <div class="input-group-prepend">
                                <span class="input-group-text"><i class="icon-user"></i></span>
                            </div>
                           <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" [(ngModel)]="username" autocomplete="username" required>
                        </div>
                        <div class="input-group mb-4">
                            <div class="input-group-prepend">
                                <span class="input-group-text"><i class="icon-lock"></i></span>
                            </div>
                           <input type="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password"[(ngModel)]="password" autocomplete="current-password" required>
                        </div>
                        <div class="row">
                            <div class="col-6">
                                <button type="button" (click)=dologin class="btn btn-primary px-4">Login</button>
                            </div>
                        
                        </div>
                    </form>
                    </div>
                </div>
               
            </div>
        </div>
    </main>
</div>

When I run project I get an error: If ngModel is used within a form tag, either the name attribute must be set or the form control must be defined as 'standalone' in ngModelOptions.

ERROR Error: If ngModel is used within a form tag, either the name attribute must be set or the form
      control must be defined as 'standalone' in ngModelOptions.
 
      Example 1: <input [(ngModel)]="person.firstName" name="first">
      Example 2: <input [(ngModel)]="person.firstName" [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}">

How can I resolve it?

    Another one thing. If used ngModel you need to add name attribute.

     <input type="text" name="firstName" [(ngModel)]="firstName"/> 

    This is the common thing for using ngModel.

    I think the error message is very clear, you can choose one way below to resolve your issue

    <!--Add the 'name' attribute-->
    <input [(ngModel)]="username" name="username">
    
    <!--Or  [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" -->
    <input [(ngModel)]="username" [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}">

    I hope it works for you!
