ngSubmit refreshes the page in Angular 2 form

Make sure you import FormsModule from @angular/forms in the module containing your component because without it your form on submit will keep refreshing the page and failing silently without logging anything to the console.

import { NgModule }           from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule }       from '@angular/common';

/*make sure you import it here*/
import { FormsModule }        from '@angular/forms';

 @NgModule({
  /*and add it to the imports array here*/
  imports:      [ FormsModule,  CommonModule],
  declarations: [ YourFormComponent ],
  exports:      [],
  providers:    [],
})

export class FeatureModule{ }
