Angular2 - data bindings concepts
Important import : import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms' And include this into your app module imports :[ ... , FormsModule ] Two way data binding (banana box syntax) < input id = "name" type = "text" [( ngModel )]= "name" /> Or your can do it the longer way : < input id = "name" type = "text" [ ngModel ]= "name" ( ngModelChange )= "valueChange($event)" /> valueChange ( value ){ } Party on!
