How to send body in a HTTP Get Request Angular 9

Question

I could send a body(json) in Postman for a GET request.

My Problem is I am not able to do the same in my yes-no.service.ts file.

getYesNoDropdowns() {
  return this.http.get(AppComponent.lookUpListUrl, { headers: headers });
}

How do I achieve this? I have to use only Get.

Thanks in advance!

Posts have a body, gets do not. You will need to put the data on the query string if you are using a get.

Thanks @adrian-brand, I am aware that posts have body as per the API I want to get data from, it has to be a get request and I have to send the data in the body like I did in postman which is working fine. I could not pass the body into the HTTP get() method. Can you please show syntactically what you meant by sending a query string? – iamP Jul 27 '20 at 03:22
`?data=${encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(yourBodyObject))}` and you can use decodeURIComponent on the server – Adrian Brand Jul 27 '20 at 04:35
I am not allowed to modify anything on the server, I can only make API requests. How is it that I am able to do it using Postman? – iamP Jul 27 '20 at 05:23

Postman allows you to construct any request you want, the Angular http service follows the standard. – Adrian Brand Jul 27 '20 at 05:50
