http - Angular2 / Error: Collection not found

Question

I am very new to Angular2 and trying to build up a Todo app.

Here's my file structure:

My todo.service.ts code (inside shared folder)

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Headers } from '@angular/http';

import 'rxjs/add/operator/toPromise';

import { ITodo } from './todo.model';

@Injectable()
export class TodoService {
 constructor(private http: Http){}

 getTodos(): Promise<ITodo[]> {
    return this.http.get('api/todos')
            .toPromise()
            .then(res => res.json().data)
            .catch(this.handleError); 
}

addTodo(todo: ITodo): Promise<ITodo> {
    return this.post(todo);
}

deleteTodo(todo: ITodo): Promise<ITodo> {
    return this.delete(todo);
}

private post(todo: ITodo): Promise<ITodo> {
    let headers = new Headers({
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    });

    return this.http.post('api/todos', JSON.stringify(todo), { headers })
    .toPromise()
    .then(res => res.json().data)
    .catch(this.handleError)
}

private delete(todo: ITodo): Promise<ITodo> {
    let headers = new Headers({
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    });

    let url = `api/todos/${todo.id}`;

    return this.http.delete(url, { headers })
    .toPromise()
    .then(res => todo)
    .catch(this.handleError)
}

private handleError(error: any): Promise<any> {
    console.log('The error occured >>>', error);
    return Promise.reject(error.message || error);
  }
}

My main.ts code

import { bootstrap }    from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { HTTP_PROVIDERS, XHRBackend } from '@angular/http';
import { InMemoryBackendService, SEED_DATA } from 'angular2-in-memory- web-api'; 
import { TodoSeedData } from './shared/todo.data';

import {AppComponent} from './app.component';

bootstrap(AppComponent,[
  HTTP_PROVIDERS,
  { provide: XHRBackend, useClass: InMemoryBackendService },
  { provide: SEED_DATA, useClass: TodoSeedData },
 ]);

Everything had been working without errors till I needed http.

Found sort of similar problem here

but it is not working to me.

Console.log shows error: Collection 'todos' not found.

I guess it's an issue with http. Please, help.

I had a similar issue calling my WebAPI. In the end I had to comment out the InMemoryDataService - as soon as I did this then the error went away and I was able to hit my WebAPI: AngularJS 2 : Getting data from json file not working
