+Before you can use `HttpClient`, you need to import the Angular `HttpClientModule`.
+Most apps do so in the root `AppModule`.
+
+<code-example header="app/app.module.ts (excerpt)" path="http/src/app/app.module.ts" region="sketch"></code-example>
+
+You can then inject the `HttpClient` service as a dependency of an application class, as shown in the following `ConfigService` example.
+
+<code-example header="app/config/config.service.ts (excerpt)" path="http/src/app/config/config.service.ts" region="proto"></code-example>
+
+The `HttpClient` service makes use of [observables](guide/glossary#observable "Observable definition") for all transactions.
+You must import the RxJS observable and operator symbols that appear in the example snippets.
+These `ConfigService` imports are typical.
+
+<code-example header="app/config/config.service.ts (RxJS imports)" path="http/src/app/config/config.service.ts" region="rxjs-imports"></code-example>

+
+You can run the <live-example></live-example> that accompanies this guide.
+
+The sample app does not require a data server.
+It relies on the [Angular *in-memory-web-api*](https://github.com/angular/angular/tree/main/packages/misc/angular-in-memory-web-api), which replaces the *HttpClient* module's `HttpBackend`.
+The replacement service simulates the behavior of a REST-like backend.
+
+Look at the `AppModule` *imports* to see how it is configured.
