Can't bind to 'ngforOf'(ngFor) since it isn't a known property of 'div'

December 8, 2022

When adding an ngFor to a div I get the following warning and it appears to be stopping my HTML from rendering.

I tried *ngFor on <li>, <tr>, <th>, <span>, <ng-template> and got the same error message. It works elsewhere but not here.(I don’t use it in <p-dialog> in other places)

If the problem is the missing module in app.component.ts, I couldn’t find which one is missing.

my-page.component.html

<p-dialog [(visible)]="displayPopup"
          [style]="{minWidth: '716px', minHeight: '270px', height:'50%'}"
          [baseZIndex]="10000"
          [modal]="true"
          [responsive]="true"
          [maximizable]="true">
  <p-header>

    <div *ngfor="let model of models">
      {{model.name}} Update
    </div>
  </p-header>
  <div style="min-height:335px!important">
    <app-newComponent #newComp
                    [data1]="data1"
                    [data2]="data2"
                    (onChange)="onModelditChange($event)"></app-newComponent >
  </div>
  <p-footer>
    <button type="button" pButton icon="pi pi-times" (click)="updateModel()" label="Save"></button>
  </p-footer>
</p-dialog>
