Note

A version of this project that uses the Angular CLI and the latest version of Angular can be found here:

https://github.com/DanWahlin/AngularCLI-ASPNET-Core-CustomersService

This project has been updated to use the latest version of Angular and RxJS but does not use the Angular CLI (it uses System.js to load modules). Key changes from the Pluralsight course include:

• HttpClientModule now used instead of HttpModule (since it's deprecated after Angular 4.3+)
• HttpClient now used instead of Http (since it's deprecated after Angular 4.3+)
• RxJS chained operators such as map and catch have been changed to the new pipe() style of coding in the latest version of RxJS.
