Calling a webapi method from Blazor server

It seems like this is deprecated and cannot be found in nuget package

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.HttpClient

         public class EmployeeService : IEmployeeService
            {
                private readonly HttpClient httpClient;

                public EmployeeService(HttpClient httpClient)
                {
                    this.httpClient = httpClient;
                }

                public async Task<IEnumerable<Employee>> GetEmployees()
                {
                    return await httpClient.GetJsonAsync<Employee[]>("api/employees");
                }
            }

I am trying to call a webapi method from Blazor using httpClient.

What is the substitute for this?

The tutorial many people have sourced their code from has a mistype - should be:

return await httpClient.GetJsonFromAsync<Employee[]>("api/employees");

Not sure what is your taget framework version. Just try to add System.Net.Http.Json namespace to check if it works or not.

If not working, you can use GetFromJsonAsync like below:

using System.Net.Http.Json;  //be sure add this namespace..

public async Task<IEnumerable<Employee>> GetEmployees()
{
    return await httpClient.GetFromJsonAsync<Employee[]>("https://localhost:portNumber/api/employees");
}
