Communicating Between Sibling Components in Angular via a Service

Tech Apr 27 20

1. Create a Shared Service

Create a shared service in a common directory using the CLI command: ng g s path/service-name, e.g., ng g s service/storage. This generates storage.service.ts with the following implementation:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class StorageService {
  // Create a BehaviorSubject with an initial value of 0
  subject: BehaviorSubject<any> = new BehaviorSubject<any>(0);
}

2. Import and Register the Service in AppModule

In app.module.ts, import and regitser StorageService as a providre:

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

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { ComponentOneComponent } from './component-one/component-one.component';
import { ComponentTwoComponent } from './component-two/component-two.component';
import { StorageService } from './service/storage.service';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    ComponentOneComponent,
    ComponentTwoComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    FormsModule
  ],
  providers: [StorageService],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

3. Component A (Sending Data)

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { StorageService } from '../service/storage.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-component-one',
  templateUrl: './component-one.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./component-one.component.less']
})
export class ComponentOneComponent implements OnInit {
  inputValue = '';

  constructor(
    public storageService: StorageService,
    private router: Router
  ) { }

  ngOnInit(): void { }

  send(): void {
    this.router.navigate(['/two']);
    // Publish the input value via the shared service
    this.storageService.subject.next(this.inputValue);
  }
}

4. Component B (Receivnig Data)

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';
import { StorageService } from '../service/storage.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-component-two',
  templateUrl: './component-two.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./component-two.component.less']
})
export class ComponentTwoComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  data: any;
  isVisible = false;
  private subscription: Subscription;

  constructor(public storageService: StorageService) {
    // Subscribe to the subject and capture the subscription
    this.subscription = this.storageService.subject.subscribe(value => {
      this.data = value;
      console.log('Data received');
    });
  }

  showData(): void {
    this.isVisible = true;
  }

  ngOnInit(): void { }

  ngOnDestroy(): void {
    // Unsubscribe to avoid memory leaks
    this.subscription.unsubscribe();
  }
}
