import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
  
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class PostService {
  
  constructor() { }
  
  getPosts(){
    return [
      {
        id: 1,
        title: 'Angular Http Post Request Example'

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { PostService } from './post.service';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'appNewService';
  posts = [];
  
  constructor(private postService: PostService){
    this.posts = postService.getPosts();
  }
}

View File

Now we will display our data in view file like as bellow:

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>How to create service in angular 8 using cli - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let post of posts">
    <strong>{{ post.id }})</strong>{{ post.title }}
  </li>
