Template parse errors: 'md-form-field' is not a known element

Question

I am using Angular 4 and Angular Material 2. For the following code :

<form>
  <md-form-field>
    <input mdInput [ngModel]="userName" placeholder="User" [formControl]="usernameFormControl">
    <md-error *ngIf="usernameFormControl.hasError('required')">
      This is <strong>required</strong>
    </md-error>
    <input mdInput [ngModel]="password" placeholder="Password" [formControl]="passwordFormControl">
    <md-error *ngIf="passwordFormControl.hasError('required')">
      This is <strong>required</strong>
    </md-error>
    <button md-raised-button color="primary" [disabled]="!usernameFormControl.valid || !passwordFormControl.valid">Login</button>
  </md-form-field>
</form>

I am getting an error:

Template parse errors: 'md-form-field' is not a known element: 1. If 'md-form-field' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module. 2. If 'md-form-field' is a Web Component then add 'CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component to suppress this message. (" [ERROR ->]

Could you please help me where I am missing?

Following is my app.module.ts code where I have imported material modules:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { LoginComponent } from './login.component';

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

import {
  MdAutocompleteModule,
  MdButtonModule,
  MdButtonToggleModule,
  MdCardModule,
  MdCheckboxModule,
  MdChipsModule,
  MdCoreModule,
  MdDatepickerModule,
  MdDialogModule,
  MdExpansionModule,
  MdGridListModule,
  MdIconModule,
  MdInputModule,

} from '@angular/material';

UPDATE:

Since 2.0.0-beta.12, md prefix has been removed in favor of mat prefix. See this CHANGELOG for details:

All "md" prefixes have been removed. See the deprecation notice in the beta.11 notes for more information.

After the update, <md-form-field> should be changed to <mat-form-field>. Also, MdFormFieldModule and MdInputModule should be changed to MatFormFieldModule and MatInputModule:

import { MatFormFieldModule } from '@angular/material';
import { MatInputModule } from '@angular/material';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ....
    MatFormFieldModule,
    MatInputModule,
    ....
  ]

Here is a link to Updated StackBlitz demo using 2.0.0-beta.12.

ORIGINAL:

<md-form-field> was introduced in 2.0.0-beta.10. See below from the changelog documentation:

md-input-container renamed to md-form-field (while still being backwards compatible). The old selector will be removed in a subsequent release.

Here is a link to complete CHANGELOG.

To use <md-form-field> selector, make sure that you have version 2.0.0-beta.10 of material installed. Moreover, you need to import MdFormFieldModule module in you AppModule imports:

import { MdFormFieldModule } from '@angular/material';
import { MdInputModule } from '@angular/material';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ....
    MdFormFieldModule,
    MdInputModule,
    ....
  ]
