We'll be seeing examples of common HTTP methods such as GET, PUT, PATCH, POST and DELETE, that you usually need to use when communicating with a server, or consuming and fetching data from a REST API server.

We'll be learning about:

• Accessing Http Headers,
• Passing Http Parameters,
• Specifying HttpClient ResponseType i.e Text, JSON or Blob,
• Setting up HttpClient Interceptors,
• Implementing Http Error Handling,
• Dealing with Browser CORS and the Same Origin Policy

This tutorial is divided in the following parts:

• Importing HttpClient and sending Http get, post, put and delete requests to the server (this part),
• Building a service to encapsulate the HttpClient code interfacing with the server,
• Getting headers and typed and full responses with Angular HttpClient,
• Uploading files with Angular HttpClient
• Communicating with a Node.js & Express server using POST Requests
• Using the async pipe for sending GET requests,
• Handling CORS and the Same Origin Policy in modern web browsers

Run Fake Rest API server
