Angular: Type 'Event' is not assignable to type 'string'.

If this innocent-looking code

Color: <input [(ngModel)]="color" />

gives you this error:

Type 'Event' is not assignable to type 'string'.

Add FormsModule on imports:

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [
    HoverHighlightDirective,
    // FormsModule, // uncomment this to remove the error: Type 'Event' is not assignable to type 'string'.
  ],
  templateUrl: './main.html',
})
export class App {
  name = 'Angular';

  color: string = 'blue';
}

bootstrapApplication(App);
