How to Reference IHttpClientFactory in Blazor WebAssemly App?

In VS 2019, I am trying to test using HttpClient in a Blazor WebAssemply App. When creating the new Project, I selected the .Net Core 3.1 option. In the Program.cs, the HttpClient service is registered as following:

builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

Under the "framework" section, system.net.http is listed.

We run into the problem of being unable to add @inject IHttpClientFactory http to a new Razor Component. The error message was:

Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'IHttpClientFactory' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The online doc at Microsoft site shows the IHttpClientFactory is defined in theSystem.Net.Http package. What is the root cause of the errors I got and how can I fix it?
