angular - Angular2 RC6: '<component> is not a known element'

Question

I am getting the following error in the browser console when trying to run my Angular 2 RC6 app:

> Error: Template parse errors: 'header-area' is not a known element:
> 1. If 'header-area' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module.
> 2. If 'header-area' is a Web Component then add "CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA" to the '@NgModule.schema' of this component
> to suppress this message.("

    <div class="page-container">
        [ERROR->]<header-area></header-area>
        <div class="container-fluid">

> "): PlannerComponent@1:2

I don't get why the component isn't found. My PlannerModule looks like this:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    PlannerComponent,
    HeaderAreaComponent,
    NavbarAreaComponent,
    EreignisbarAreaComponent,
    GraphAreaComponent,
    nvD3
    ],
  imports: [
    RouterModule,
    CommonModule,
    ModalModule
    ],
  bootstrap: [PlannerComponent],
})
export class PlannerModule {}

and as far as I understood the concept of Modules in ng2, the parts of the modules are declared in 'declarations'. For completeness, here is the PlannerComponent:

@Component({
  selector: 'planner',
  providers: [CalculationService],
  templateUrl: './planner.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./planner.component.styl']
})
export default class PlannerComponent {
}

and the HeaderAreaComponent:

@Component({
  selector: 'header-area',
  templateUrl: './header-area.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./header-area.component.styl']
})
export default class HeaderAreaComponent {
}

The <header-area>-Tag is located in planner.component.html:

<div class="page-container">
  <header-area></header-area>
  <div class="container-fluid">

    <div class="row">...

Did I get something wrong?

Update: Complete code

planner.module.ts:

import HeaderAreaComponent from '../header-area/header-area.component';
import NavbarAreaComponent from '../navbar-area/navbar-area.component';
import GraphAreaComponent from '../graph-area/graph-area.component';
import EreignisbarAreaComponent from '../ereignisbar-area/ereignisbar-area.component';
import PlannerComponent from './planner.component';
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {nvD3} from 'ng2-nvd3';
import {RouterModule} from '@angular/router';
import {CommonModule} from '@angular/common';
import {ModalModule} from 'ng2-bootstrap/ng2-bootstrap';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [

  ],
  imports: [

export class PlannerModule {
  // TODO: get rid of the "unused class" warning

Answer 1

I received this error when I imported Module A into Module B, and then tried to use a component from Module A in Module B.

The solution is to declare that component in the exports array.

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    MyComponent
  ],
  exports: [
    MyComponent
  ]
})
export class ModuleA {}

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ModuleA
  ]
})
export class ModuleB {}
