Seamless Interaction with backend using HttpClient Module In Angular

Angular is one of the best framework which give’s us the entire in built environment to make application interaction’s, functionalities, scalability all in house through Angular Provider’s itself.

Recently, I have gone through the documentation of Angular and get to know about HttpClient Module which make’s interaction with backend smooth through API’s.

Instead of using third party libraries, packages to interact and communicate with server/routes over http protocol, you can easily make that possible smoothly with in built module.

Differentiator Point’s :

1. Built-in Integration: Angular’s HttpClientModule is part of the framework, so you don't need to install external libraries like Axios. This makes it seamless, with automatic configuration for handling JSON, interceptors, and error handling.
2. Observable-based: It uses RxJS Observables, which provide more powerful ways to handle asynchronous data, including built-in operators for handling retries, transformations, and cancellations — something React developers may need to add extra libraries for.
3. Type Safety: Since Angular is built with TypeScript, HttpClientModule ensures strong typing for your requests and responses, making it easier to catch errors during development and providing better tooling support compared to JavaScript-based Axios.

HTTP client service features

The HTTP client service offers the following major features:

1. The ability to request typed response values
2. Streamlined error handling
3. Request and response interception
4. Robust testing utilities

Happy coding !
