stackblitz

I have a tiny demo and it attempts to read app/data.json using the Angular HttpClient. const post$:Observable<Post> = <Observable<Post>> http.get('./data.json'); However the HttpClient reponse says: Failure during parsing ... Thoughts? Stackblitz currently doesn't serve static files except the case when they are in assets folder. So you have two options here: 1) Import json directly as module import data from './data.json'; console.log(data) // => {title: "Simulating HTTP Requsts", content: "This is off the hook!!"} For more details See other answers 2) Move that json in assets folder( Note :

I'm trying to create an app for demo propose on StackBlitz and must use Angular 5.2.x because my app is still using 5.2.x. I just can't downgrade from v6 to v5.2 when I try to install the dependencies. I actually need e.g. "@angular/common": "^5.2.10", "rxjs": "^5.5.10", "@angular/http": "^5.2.10" etc. But it just force me to install the v6. Is there a possibilities to avoid this and install the needed versions or there is no way? Have been checking the doc for Stackblitz, but didn't find something talking about such case.
