Angular Dynamic Forms and Angular Material

I have built a dynamic form component in Angular 5 (based on documentation and example from https://angular.io/guide/dynamic-form).

Everything works find until I try and use angular material.

I have read a number of articles here on similar issues but they all seem to be because people were not importing correct modules or using mdInput or mat-Input instead of matInput. This is not the case for the problem I am experiencing.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

CHANGED CODE – BREAKS with ERROR –

*mat-form-field must contain a MatFormFieldControl.***

Dynamic Form Control Component Template

The only change I made to the working code below is to wrap the input field in and add the matInput attribute to the input field.

I am importing all the Material Modules (MatFormFieldModule and MatInputModule etc through a core module. All my material Inputs and Form Fields work in all other components in the application, so i don't believe the issues is that i am missing anything in the imports.

<div [formGroup]="form">

    <div [ngSwitch]="control.controlType">
        <mat-form-field>
            <input matInput placeholder="{{control.label}}" *ngSwitchCase="'textbox'" [formControlName]="control.key" [id]="control.key"
                [type]="control.type">
        </mat-form-field>
        <select [id]="control.label" *ngSwitchCase="'dropdown'" [formControlName]="control.key">
            <option value="">Select {{control.label}}</option>
            <option *ngFor="let opt of control.options" [value]="opt.key">{{opt.value}}</option>
        </select>
    </div>

    <div class="errorMessage" *ngIf="!isValid">{{control.label}} is required</div>
</div>

CURRENT CODE – This works perfectly but I am not getting the angular material formatting
