Angular EXCEPTION: No provider for Http

Angular EXCEPTION: No provider for Http

If you are encountering the error message "EXCEPTION: No provider for Http!" in your Angular app, don't worry! You're not alone. This error typically occurs when you are trying to use the Http service in your Angular app, but haven't properly configured the necessary dependencies.

Understanding the Problem

In order to use the Http service in Angular, you need to make sure you have the proper imports and providers set up. Looking at the code snippet provided, it seems that the Http service is being used in the constructor of the GreetingsAcApp2 component.

import {Http, Headers} from 'angular2/http';
import {Injectable} from 'angular2/core'

@Component({
    selector: 'greetings-ac-app2',
    providers: [],
    templateUrl: 'app/greetings-ac2.html',
    directives: [NgFor, NgModel, NgIf, FORM_DIRECTIVES],
    pipes: []
})
export class GreetingsAcApp2 {
    private str:any;

    constructor(http: Http) {
        this.str = {str:'test'};
        http.post('http://localhost:18937/account/registeruiduser/',
            JSON.stringify(this.str),
            {
                headers: new Headers({
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
                })
            });
    }
}

Easy Solutions

To resolve the "EXCEPTION: No provider for Http!" error, you need to make sure you have the necessary imports and providers added correctly.

Step 1: Import the Http module

Import the Http module from the correct location in your Angular project. Starting from Angular 2, the Http module is located at '@angular/http'. Update your import statement to reflect this change.

import {Http, Headers} from '@angular/http';

Step 2: Add Http to the providers

Add the Http provider to the providers array in the @Component decorator's configuration, so that it can be injected into the component's constructor.

@Component({
    selector: 'greetings-ac-app2',
    providers: [Http], // Add Http to the providers array
    templateUrl: 'app/greetings-ac2.html',
    directives: [NgFor, NgModel, NgIf, FORM_DIRECTIVES],
    pipes: []
})

Step 3: Use Http as a dependency in the constructor

In the constructor of your component, add private http: Http as a parameter, and assign it to a class property.

constructor(private http: Http) {
    // Rest of your code
}

Call-to-Action

Now that you know how to resolve the "EXCEPTION: No provider for Http!" error in your Angular app, go ahead and give it a try. Make sure to double-check your imports, add the Http provider to the providers array, and update the constructor to include Http as a dependency.
