Contributes to #2407 - Dropped the “2” in “Angular 2” and “angular2_*” where appropriate. - Did a partial sync of `_cache/guide/pipes.jade` - In quickstart, changed `Try changing the message to "Hello Angular 2!”` to `Try changing the message to "Hello Again Angular!”`.

Actually, it is unnecessary to include `BrowserClient` in the list of providers.
|
|
***But*** as is mentioned in the *Angular Dart Transformer* [wiki page][ng2dtri],
|
|
the template compiler _generates_ dependency injection code, hence all the
|
|
identifiers used in DI have to be collected by the Angular transformer
|
|
so that the libraries containing these identifiers can be transformed.
|
|
|
|
Unless special steps are taken, Dart libraries like `http`
|
|
are not transformed. To ensure that the `BrowserClient` identifier is available
|
|
for DI, we must add a `resolved_identifiers` parameter to the `angular2`
|
|
transformer in `pubspec.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
[ng2dtri]: https://github.com/angular/angular/wiki/Angular-2-Dart-Transformer#resolved_identifiers
|
|
|
|
- var stylePattern = { pnk: /(resolved_identifiers:|Browser.*)/gm, otl: /(- angular2:)|(transformers:)/g };

The hero service `getHeroes()` and `addHero()` asynchronous methods return the
|
|
[`Future`](https://api.dartlang.org/stable/dart-async/Future-class.html)
|
|
values of the current hero list and the newly added hero,
|
|
respectively. The hero list component methods of the same name specifying
|
|
the actions to be taken when the asynchronous method calls succeed or fail.
|
|
|
|
For more information about `Future`s, consult any one
|
|
of the [articles](https://www.dartlang.org/articles/) on asynchronous
|
|
programming in Dart, or the tutorial on
|
|
[_Asynchronous Programming: Futures_](https://www.dartlang.org/docs/tutorials/futures/).

The response data are in JSON string form.
|
|
We must parse that string into Objects which we do by calling
|
|
the `JSON.decode()` method from the `dart:convert` library.

Back in the `HeroListComponent`, we wrapped our call to
|
|
`!{_priv}heroService.getHeroes()` in a `try` clause. When an exception is
|
|
caught, the `errorMessage` variable — which we've bound conditionally in the
|
|
template — gets assigned to.

|
|
Back in the `HeroListComponent`, we see that *its* `addHero()`
|
|
awaits for the *service's* asynchronous `addHero()` to return, and when it does,
|
|
the new hero is added to the `heroes` list for presentation to the user.

Wikipedia offers a modern `CORS` API and a legacy `JSONP` search API.

The remaining content of this section is coming soon.
|

In the meantime, consult the
|
|
[example sources](https://github.com/angular-examples/server-communication)
|
|
to see how to access Wikipedia via its `JSONP` API.

block redirect-to-web-api

|
|
To achieve this, we have Angular inject an in-memory web API server
|
|
instance as a provider for the `BrowserClient`. This is possible because
|
|
the in-memory web API server class extends `BrowserClient`.
