You need to use HttpClient not HttpClientModule to make an http request.

In app.module.ts, import HttpClientModule (see "imports" below):

import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
@NgModule({
    imports: [
          HttpClientModule,
    ...
    ],
    ...
})
export class AppModule { }

Then, import HttpClient in app.component.ts:

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

Now, change your AppComponent Ctor from

constructor(private http: HttpClientModule){};

to

constructor(private http: HttpClient){};

Beside you get this error if you did not pay attention on the imports for HTTPClient. Usually it defaults to

import { HttpClient } from 'selenium-webdriver/http';

})

export class AppComponent {
  results;
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.todaydate = this.myservice.getTodayDate();
    this.http.get("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users").subscribe(data => {
      console.log(data);
     this.results = data;
   });
  }
}

in your app.component.ts file , you have to inject "HttpClient" in your constructor, not "HttpClientModule".

your error come from here:

change it to:

import {HttpClient} from "@angular/common/http";

and from here:

change it to:

constructor(private httpClient:HttpClient) { }

NB: in app.module.ts we import "HttpClientModule" & in app.component.ts we inject "HttpClient"

Property 'get' does not exist on type 'HttpClientModule'

ERROR
