Question: I am following the pro angular 6 3rd edition book tutorial and I am finding it hard to resolve the issue with value of a $event.target. it is suppose to be an option to limit the number of articles per page on display. but I cannot get it to work, my main issue now I think is that the feature is no longer available in angular 12.

ts code is as follows:

...

```
changePage(newPage: number){
    this.selectedPage = newPage;
}

changePageSize(newSize: number){
    this.productsPerPage = Number(newSize);
    this.changePage(1);
}

get pageNumbers(): number[]{
    return Array(Math.ceil(this.repository.getProducts(this.selectedCategory)
      .length / this.productsPerPage)).fill(0).map((x, i)=> i +1);
 } 

```

...

```
enter code here

```

html template part with the issue
...

```
 <select class="form-control" [value]="productsPerPage"
    (change)="changePageSize($event.target.value)">
        <option value="3">3 per Page</option>
        <option value="4">4 per Page</option>
        <option value="6">6 per Page</option>
        <option value="8">8 per Page</option>
    </select>

```

...
I appreciate any solutions that may help.

Answer: 
Why you don't just put:

HTML:

```
 <select class="form-control" [(ngModel)]="productsPerPage">
        <option value="3">3 per Page</option>
        <option value="4">4 per Page</option>
        <option value="6">6 per Page</option>
        <option value="8">8 per Page</option>
    </select>

```

NOTE: You have to import NgModule in your module.

For instance, in your app.module.ts:

```
...
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
...

imports: [
...
    FormsModule,
...
]

```
bro just put $any before $event.target
just like that `($any($event.target).value)`

full code

```
 <select class="form-control" [value]="productsPerPage"
        (change)="changePageSize($any($event.target).value)">
            <option value="3">3 per Page</option>
            <option value="4">4 per Page</option>
            <option value="6">6 per Page</option>
            <option value="8">8 per Page</option>
        </select>

```
