Use of HttpClient Services in App Module - [import HttpClient module in app.module.ts]
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    HttpClientModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Use of HttpClient in your components -
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'demoApp';

// Inject HttpClient into your component or service.
  constructor(private httpClient: HttpClient){  }
}

How To Use HttpClient in Angular?

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

  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  //variables
  baseUrl ="https://code-sample.com/";
  users = null;
 
  //injects HttpClient into your component or service.
  constructor(private http: HttpClient){  }

  //Load User info.
  ngOnInit(): void {
  //Make the HTTP request:
    this.http.get(this.baseUrl +'api/users/').subscribe(data => {
      this.users = data;
    },
    err => {
      console.log("Error- something is wrong!")

  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  baseUrl ="https://code-sample.com/";

            console.log(result);
          },
          err => {
