How to use @angular/http?

So I just want to experiment with making http calls from typescript file in my angular2 project.

In the file, I have

import { Http, Response } from '@angular/http';
var httpRequest = Http;

whatever function calls I make using the httpRequest object, I get function not defined. What am I doing wrong?

stuff ;)

Thanks but the example is a full blown Angular2 service. What I am doing is trivial and is really 2 lines of code if I figure out what my issue is.

I see and you work with the injectable decorator ?

I am not using injectable decorator as I am only using it in a vanilla TS module, same as I use the lodash module or moment...

I tried using the request module by install the npm module and importing as 'request': './node_modules/request/index.js', in systemjs.config.js

and in my module file, I have import request = require('request');

and the compiler complains that it cannot find module request.

Thoughts?

Is there a number of fixed steps that one has to perform to use vanilla node module in a TS or Angular 2 project?
