Angular2 rc5: No provider for Http

Question

I'm trying to port an angular 2 application to RC5, but I have a problem: I cannot setup the application correctly via modules.

There's a service named CustomersService that retrieves customers data via Http. I've create an App Module that imports HttpModule and provides CustomersService. In another module, named HomeModule, there's a component that uses that service. When the application starts I see the following error on the console:

EXCEPTION: Error in ./HomeComponent class HomeComponent_Host - inline template:0:0
ORIGINAL EXCEPTION: No provider for Http!

I have no idea why this is happening...

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you.

I don't think that you need to specify something regarding Http in the providers attribute of your module. This is done when including the HttpModule in the imports attribute.

@NgModule({
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        HttpModule,

        // material design
        MdSidenavModule,
        MdListModule,
        MdIconModule,
        MdToolbarModule,
        MdButtonModule,

        routing,
        // SharedModule.foorRoot(),
        HomeModule
    ],
    providers: [
        CustomersService // <-----
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {

}

The HttpModule configures the related providers for HTTP. See https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/modules/%40angular/http/http.ts#L354

Otherwise, perhaps it's a typo:

import { Http } from '@angular/Http';

instead of

import { Http } from '@angular/http';
