Angular 5: “No provider for ControlContainer”

The ControlContainer is a abstract class which is extended by the AbstractFormGroupDirective inside the ReactiveFormsModule.

The error is thrown if you’re using the ReactiveFormsModule and a <form>-element without a FormGroup bound to it via [formGroup]="myForm".

To fix this error you have to create a FormGroup and bind it to your form:

<form class="container" [formGroup]="myForm" (ngSubmit)="update()">

Also make sure you have both the FormsModule and the ReactiveFormsModule added to your module imports.
