Issue Description

I have a NativeScript with angular project. The backend is a rest api written in .NET CORE. I'm trying to make a HTTP call fom the nativescript frontend using angular following the post method as described in the link: https://v6.docs.nativescript.org/angular/ng-framework-modules/http#http-post

Whenever I make a call, I get error 'JS: ReferenceError: URL is not defined'

Reproduction

app.module.ts

import { NgModule, NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core'
import { NativeScriptHttpClientModule } from "@nativescript/angular";
import { NativeScriptModule } from '@nativescript/angular'
import { NativeScriptCommonModule } from "@nativescript/angular";
import { NativeScriptRouterModule } from "@nativescript/angular";
import { NativeScriptFormsModule } from "@nativescript/angular";
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module'

@NgModule({
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
imports: [
NativeScriptModule,
NativeScriptHttpClientModule,
NativeScriptCommonModule,
NativeScriptRouterModule,
NativeScriptFormsModule,
AppRoutingModule,
],
declarations: [AppComponent],
providers: [],
schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA],
})
export class AppModule {}

authservice.ts :

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterExtensions } from "@nativescript/angular";
import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from "@angular/common/http";
import { CommonCodeService } from "./common-code-service";
import { LoginRequestDTO, LoginResponseDTO} from "../data-models/login-model";

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AuthenticationService {

loginModelData: LoginRequestDTO = {
Username:"",
Password:""
}

loginResponseData: LoginResponseDTO = {
isLoginSuccess:false,
responseMessage:"",
userId:"",
token:"",
firstname:""
};

isLoginValid: boolean = false;

constructor(
private router: RouterExtensions,
private http: HttpClient,
private commonCodeService: CommonCodeService) { }

private createRequestOptions() {
let headers = new HttpHeaders({
"Content-Type": "application/json"
});
return headers;
}

login(username: string, password:string){
  this.loginModelData.Username=username;
  this.loginModelData.Password=password;
  let apiURL = "http://10.0.2.2:4001/api/Login/Login";  //Since api runs on localhost, i use 10.0.2.2 from android emulator to invoke localhost
  let options = this.createRequestOptions();
  this.http.post(apiURL, {this.loginModelData}, {headers: options} )
  .subscribe(res => {
    const result = <LoginResponseDTO>res;
    if(result!=null)
    {
      this.loginResponseData = <LoginResponseDTO>result;
      if(this.loginResponseData.isLoginSuccess)
      {
        this.isLoginValid=true;
        this.router.navigate(["home"], { clearHistory: true });
      }
      else
      {
        this.isLoginValid=false;
      }
    }
    else
    {
      this.commonCodeService.alert('User data not found. Please try again');
    }
  },
  (e) => {
    console.log(e);
  });
}

}
