How to make a simple JSONP asynchronous request in Angular 2?

In the latest version of Angular

  1. Import HttpClientModule and HttpClientJsonpModule modules in your app module’s definition file

     import {
         HttpClientModule,
         HttpClientJsonpModule
     } from '@angular/common/http';
    
     @NgModule({
     declarations: [
         //... List of components that you need.
     ],
     imports: [
         HttpClientModule,
         HttpClientJsonpModule,
         //...
     ],
     providers: [
         //...
     ],
     bootstrap: [AppComponent]
     })
    
  2. Inject http and map rxjs operator into your service:

     import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
     import {HttpClient} from '@angular/http';
     import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
    
     @Injectable()
     export class MegaSuperService {
        constructor(private _http: HttpClient) {}
     }
    
  3. Make JSONP requests in the following way:

     // inside your service
     this._http.jsonp('/api/get', 'callback').map(data => {
     // Do stuff.
     });
    

In Angular version 2 – version 4.3

  1. Import JSONP module in your app module’s definition file:

     import {JsonpModule} from '@angular/http';
    
     @NgModule({
     declarations: [
         //... List of components that you need.
     ],
     imports: [
         JsonpModule,
         //...
     ],
     providers: [
         //...
     ],
     bootstrap: [AppComponent]
     })
    
  2. Inject jsonp service and map rxjs operator into your service:

     import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
     import {Jsonp} from '@angular/http';
     import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
    
     @Injectable()
     export class MegaSuperService {
        constructor(private _jsonp: Jsonp) {}
     }
    
  3. Make requests using “JSONP_CALLBACK” as a callback property:

     // inside your service
     this._jsonp.get('/api/get?callback=JSONP_CALLBACK').map(data => {
     // Do stuff.
     });
