📶 Technologies

• Angular v16
• RxJS Library v7 used to subscribe to the API data observable.
• The HttpClient in @angular/common/http offers a simplified client HTTP API for Angular applications that rests on the XMLHttpRequest interface exposed by browsers.

💾 Setup

• Run npm i to install dependencies
• Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

💻 Code Examples

• data.service.ts ES6 arrow function to return observable from API using apiResponse interface

getUsers = (): Observable<apiResponse> => {
  return this.http.get<apiResponse>("https://reqres.in/api/users");
}

• home.component.ts ng init. function to get observable data for the template async pipe - note: using an ES6 arrow function here would result in nothing being displayed, due the use of 'this'

ngOnInit () {
  this.users$ = this.data.getUsers();
};

🆒 Features

• API web link could be changed to get different and more complex data.
