I was having trouble understanding why, after passing my solution to Angular 4 (I re-run yeoman from the root of my solution and fixed all the issues), I was getting an error that said:

There is no directive with "exportAs" set to "ngForm"

I was very confused because this error comes when FormsModule isn't correctly imported, but it is imported in app.module.client. After a bit of testing, I figured out that the server-side (probably because of the pre-rendering) actually needed it as an import. I've passed the import to the app.module.shared and it fixed the issue.

Is there any reason for not importing FormsModule from the app.module.shared? Is there something that I should do differently to not have that issue?
