How would you go about appending a header to your request?

The approach that I took was: https://gist.github.com/samuelcouch/5d2b860a11f395f250a0

But all I get is an error that says "Can't find variable Headers" referencing line 4.

...Preemptively posted this... Found the solution after looking in to Headers source. It just builds an object for you.

When I link the api component to the main.js, I get a surprising message error: Requiring unknown module "../Utils/api". If you are sure the module is there, try restarting the packager. What does it mean to restart the packager ?
