Angular 2 'component' is not a known element

Question

I\'m trying to use a component I created inside the AppModule in other modules. I get the following error though:

\"Uncaught (in promise): Error: Temp

Answer 1

I just had the exact same issue. Before trying some of the solutions posted here, you might want to check if the component really doesn't work. For me, the error was shown in my IDE (WebStorm), but it turned out that the code worked perfectly when i ran it in the browser.

After I shut down the terminal (that was running ng serve) and restarted my IDE, the message stopped showing up.
