This migration will allow developers to migrate the deprecated `HttpClientModule`, `HttpClientJsonpModule` & `HttpClientXsrfModule` to their respective provider functions.
PR Close#54020
This commit deprecates the `HttpClientModule` and other related http modules. Those can be replaced by provider function only.
Angular is an opinionated framework, feature guidance will help developer choose the recommended way to enable feature (like Http requests here).
Note: This is not an indication of deprecation for `NgModule`. The deprecated module's only purpose here was to define providers. This can be done directly by the provide function pattern.
DEPRECATED: `HttpClientModule`, `HttpClientXsrfModule` and `HttpClientJsonpModule`
As mentionned, those modules can be replaced by provider function only.
PR Close#54020
This commit introduces the `provideHttpClientTesting()` function as an
alternative to the `HttpClientTestingModule` (in fact, the NgModule is
converted internally to just use the new provider function).
PR Close#47502
HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
