cannot find module '@angular/http'?

Question

I added the following property to my systemjs.config.js map object in my Angular 2 app:

'@angular/http': 'https://npmcdn.com/@angular/http'

When I ctrl-click on the url it attempts to download a js file. However, when I try to import from '@angular/http' at the top of my service.ts, the compiler returns the error "Cannot find module '@angular/http'.`"

Is there an additional step that I'm missing in order for this module to be recognized and usable by my angular app? I'm using Angular version 2.0.0-rc.4.

Answer 1

run this in terminal:

npm install @angular/http@latest

Update for Angular 5+ versions:

import {HttpClientModule} from '@angular/common/http'
import {HttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'

instead of HttpModule and Http respectively.
