How to solve catch error in Observable in angular 8?

Question

I do error handler code, but I got error in catch. undefined method.

This is my serivce.ts code.

import { Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import { HttpClient, HttpErrorResponse } from "@angular/common/http";
import { user } from "./user";
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import "rxjs/add/operator/catch";
import "rxjs/add/Observable/throw";
@Injectable({
  providedIn: "root"
})
export class DemoService {
  private url: string = "/assets/demo/user.json";
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

  getuserdetails(): Observable<user[]> {
    return this.http.get<user[]>(this.url).catch(this.errorHandler);
  }
  errorHandler(error: HttpErrorResponse) {
    return Observable.throw(error.message || "server error.");
  }
}

This is my app.component.ts file code

 public userdetails = [];
  public errorMsg;
  constructor(private user: DemoService) {}
  ngOnInit() {
    this.user
      .getuserdetails()
      .subscribe(
        $data => (this.userdetails = $data),
        error => (this.errorMsg = error)
      );
  } 

I got error in catch. and error message is Property 'catch' does not exist on type 'Observable'.

You can use catchError in rxjs/operators for this. Try it as follows.

import { catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

export class DemoService {

    getuserdetails(): Observable<user[]> {
        return this.http.get<user[]>(this.url)
            .pipe(catchError(this.errorHandler))
    }
    errorHandler(error: HttpErrorResponse) {
        return Observable.throw(error.message || "server error.");
    }
}
