I was trying to build a simple app with crud on fake json server

but i can't import HttpClientModule

Here is error message from VS Code :

ERROR in node_modules/@angular/common/http/http.d.ts:2801:22 - error NG6002: Appears in the NgModule.imports of AppModule, but could not be resolved to an NgModule class.

    This likely means that the library (@angular/common/http) which declares HttpClientModule has not been processed correctly by ngcc, or is not compatible with Angular Ivy. Check if a newer version of the library is available, and update if so. Also consider checking with the library's authors to see if the library is expected to be compatible with Ivy.

    2801 export declare class HttpClientModule {

Here is app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { EmployeeCreateComponent } from './employee-create/employee-create.component';
import { EmployeeEditComponent } from './employee-edit/employee-edit.component';
import { EmployeeListComponent } from './employee-list/employee-list.component';

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


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    EmployeeCreateComponent,
    EmployeeEditComponent,
    EmployeeListComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    HttpClientModule,
    AppRoutingModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'restTest6';
}

note that : I didn't use HttpClientModule anywhere else. I imported and did ng serve -o and got error. Please point out what went wrong
