Overview

A real-world scenario for enterprise Angular applications is to connect to remote services and APIs to exchange data. The built-in Angular HTTP client provides out-of-the-box support for communicating with services over HTTP. The interaction of an Angular application with the HTTP client is based on RxJS observable streams, giving developers a rich set of capabilities for data access.

There are many possibilities to describe what we can do to connect to APIs through HTTP. In this course, we will only scratch the surface. Still, the insights covered in this chapter will give us all we need to connect our Angular applications to HTTP services in no time, leaving all we can do with them up to our creativity.
