angular - Can't bind to 'dataSource' since it isn't a known property of 'table'

Question

I am new in angular 5 development. I am trying to develop a data table with angular material using the example provided here: "https://material.angular.io/components/table/examples".

I am getting an error saying Can't bind to 'dataSource' since it isn't a known property of 'table'.

Please help.

Remember to add MatTableModule in your app.module's imports i.e.

In Angular 9+

import { MatTableModule } from '@angular/material/table'  

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    MatTableModule
    // ...
  ]
})

Less than Angular 9

import { MatTableModule } from '@angular/material'  

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    MatTableModule
    // ...
  ]
})
