associate service.ts

vehicleassociate(data){     return this.httpclient.post(this.httpclient.api_endpoint + 'uservehicleassociation', data, {},  {         'accept': 'application/json',         'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'     }); } 

http.service.ts

post(url, data, iparams = {}, iheaders = {}) {         this.loaderservice.show();         return this.http             .post(url, data, this.options(params, headers))             .map(this.transformresponse)             .catch(this.handleerror)             .finally(() => {                 this.loaderservice.hide();             });     } 

associate-vehicle.component.spec.ts

it('on submit of form', inject([associatevehicleservice, mockbackend],         (assocatevehicleservice, backend) => {             expect(component.form.valid).tobefalsy();             component.form.controls['tokennumber'].setvalue('1m8gdm9apra033333');             expect(component.form.valid).tobetruthy();             backend.connections.subscribe((connection: mockconnection) => {                 let options = new responseoptions({                     body: json.stringify({associatetoken: '1m8gdm9akp042755'})                 });                 connection.mockrespond(new response(options));             });              component.onsubmit();             assocatevehicleservice.vehicleassociate({associatetoken: '1m8gdm9apra011111'})             .subscribe((respone) => {                 expect(respone.json()).toequal({associatetoken: '1m8gdm9akp042755'});             });     }));
