Calling the HttpClient.get Method

The HttpClient is an Angular service that is used to make HTTP requests. It provides methods for making GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH requests. In this section, we will focus on how to call the HttpClient.get method.

Syntax:

The syntax for calling the HttpClient.get method is as follows:

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

	constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

	this.http.get(url).subscribe(data => {
		console.log(data);
	});

The first step is to import the HttpClient service from the '@angular/common/http' package. Then, you need to inject the HttpClient service into your component's constructor.

To call the HttpClient.get method, you need to pass in the URL of the API endpoint as a string parameter. The method returns an Observable that you can subscribe to in order to receive the response data.

Example:

Let's say you want to make a GET request to an API that returns a list of users. You can call the HttpClient.get method like this:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
	import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

	@Component({
	  selector: 'app-user-list',
	  templateUrl: './user-list.component.html',
	  styleUrls: ['./user-list.component.css']
	})
	export class UserListComponent implements OnInit {
	  userList: any;

	  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

	  ngOnInit(): void {
	    const url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users';

	    this.http.get(url).subscribe(data => {
	      this.userList = data;
	    });
	  }
	}

In this example, we have a UserListComponent that calls the HttpClient.get method to retrieve the list of users from the 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users' URL. The response data is assigned to the userList property of the component.

Alternative Syntax:

Another way to call the HttpClient.get method is to use the async/await syntax. Here's an example:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
	import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

	@Component({
	  selector: 'app-user-list',
	  templateUrl: './user-list.component.html',
	  styleUrls: ['./user-list.component.css']
	})
	export class UserListComponent implements OnInit {
	  userList: any;

	  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

	  async ngOnInit() {
	    const url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users';

	    this.userList = await this.http.get(url).toPromise();
	  }
	}

In this example, we are using the async/await syntax to call the HttpClient.get method. We have marked the ngOnInit method as async and used the await keyword to wait for the response data before assigning it to the userList property.
