Angular material 2 data table Error Uncaught Error: Template parse errors:

Question

The md-table provides a Material Design styled data-table that can be used to display rows of data.

This table builds on the foundation of the CDK data-table and uses a similar interface for its data source input and template, except that its element selectors will be prefixed with md- instead of cdk-

I have this error Uncaught Error: Template parse errors:

This is my products.component.html

Answer 1

In my case, I'm starting at angular, and I had a similar error, using version 2.0.0-beta.12 of angular material, the documentation of your page (material.angular.io/components/table/examples ) uses the prefix "md", which was removed in this new version(now mat), here you can see the notes of said change

https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#deprecation-of-md-prefix

It may be useful for someone to use this information if they are new, since I followed the examples and did everything that indicates the answer to this question and the example did not work until I change to this example:

github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/material-examples/table-basic/table-basic-example.html

Greetings.

Answer 2

import CdkTableModule in your app.module.ts file

import { CdkTableModule } from '@angular/cdk';

and add CdkTableModule to the imports

imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,
    CdkTableModule,
    MaterialModule
]

Answer 3

Answered here: md-table in Angular Material 2

---

The cdkHeaderCellDef and cdkCellDef are part of the @angular/cdk library and exported in the CdkTableModule.

Include this module in your app's imports
