Step 1: Create New App

You can easily create your angular app using bellow command:

In this step, we need to import HttpClientModule to app.module.ts file. so let's import it as like bellow:

src/app/app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    HttpClientModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Step 3: Create Service for API

Here, we need to create service for http client request. we will create service file and write client http request code. this service will use in our component file. So let's create service and put bellow code:

ng g s services/post

Now let's add code as like bellow:

src/app/services/post.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
  
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class PostService {
  private url = 'http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts';
   
  constructor(private httpClient: HttpClient) { }
  
  getPosts(){
    return this.httpClient.get(this.url);

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { PostService } from './services/post.service';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  posts:any;
  
  constructor(private service:PostService) {}
  
  ngOnInit() {
      this.service.getPosts()
        .subscribe(response => {
          this.posts = response;
        });
  }
}

Step 5: Updated View File

Now here, we will updated our html file. let's put bellow code:

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>Angular 12 HttpClient for Sending Http Request Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
  
<ul class="list-group">
  <li 
      *ngFor="let post of posts"
