Error: Unexpected value 'HttpClient' imported by the module 'AppModule'. Please add a @NgModule annotation

Question

Error: Unexpected value 'HttpClient' imported by the module 'AppModule'. Please add a @NgModule annotation.

I do not understand why I am getting this error.

I have tried both: import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http'; and import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

This is the full error:

Error: Unexpected value 'HttpClient' imported by the module 'AppModule'. Please add a @NgModule annotation.

You need import HttpClientModule, example:

 import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

 @NgModule({
   imports: [
     BrowserModule,
     // import HttpClientModule after BrowserModule.
     HttpClientModule,
  ],
  declarations: [
     AppComponent,
  ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})

export class AppModule {}

Read: Angula HttpClient
