Angular2 - http.post(...).map is not a function

For me the http.post(...).map() works as expected. I do need the import 'rxjs/Rx'

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {Http} from 'angular2/http';
import 'rxjs/Rx';
@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <h1>{{title}}</h1>
    <p>Test result {{result | json}}</p>
    `
})
export class App implements OnInit{
 public title = 'my title';
 public result : String;

constructor(private _http : Http) {
  _http.post('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
    .map(res => res.json())
    .subscribe(
      data => this.result = data,
      err => console.log('ERROR!!!'),
      () => console.log('Got response from API', this.result)
    );
  }
}

hopes this will help you to find your porblem

It seems that Angular2 beta.1 requires RxJS 5.0.0-beta.0. Perhaps it's the cause of your problem.

If I try this in my package.json file:

"dependencies": {
    "angular2": "2.0.0-beta.1",
    "systemjs": "0.19.6",
    "es6-promise": "^3.0.2",
    "es6-shim": "^0.33.3",
    "reflect-metadata": "0.1.2",
    "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.1",
    "zone.js": "0.5.10"
},

And I have the error that Angular2 requires RxJS 5.0.0-beta.0.

Edit

You need to add the HTTP_PROVIDERS within the second parameter of your bootstrap function.

Hope it helps you, Thierry
