*ngFor is not working in angular 2

Question

app.module.ts

import { NgModule }       from \'@angular/core\';
import { BrowserModule }  from \'@angular/platform-browser\';
import { Forms         


        

Answer 1

You probably created another module and declared component you are using there, but you forgot to import CommonModule which provides common directives such as *ngIf and *ngFor. You don't need to do this in your AppModule because you import BrowserModule there which exports CommonModule, so these directives are available in AppModule.
