Can't bind to 'dataSource' since it isn't a known property of 'table'

Question

I am new in angular 5 development. I am trying to develop a data table with angular material using the example provided here: \"https://material.angular.io/components/table/

Answer 1

if your "import { MatTableModule } from '@angular/material';" is on a shared module, make sure you export it.

sharedmodule.ts:

import { MatTableModule } from '@angular/material' 

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    MatTableModule
    // ...
  ],
  exports:[ MatTableModule ]
})

then on your custom module where you define the component that use material table:

custommodule.ts:

@NgModule({
imports: [ sharedmodule ]     
})
