I am trying out how to pass a message from app.component.ts
to be displayed in messageComponent.ts
on app.component.html
I have added <app-messagecomponent></app-messagecomponent>
Add the moment it's just showing nothing.
I also have a method in a service:
message.service.ts
message(message) {
return message;
}
So what I want to do to pass a message from other components via the message service so it's displaying in the app-messagecomponent.html
For example from app.component.ts:
sendMessageToService() {
this.myservice.message('my Message to be displayed in the messageComponent');
}
How can I do this?
In this case to pass a message from one component to another component using a service , you can create a global message bus or event bus (publish/subscribe pattern
).
For this we need the Subject
(to emit values using .next()
method) and Observable
(to listen to the messages using .subscribe()
) from Rxjs
which is now an essential part of angular 6. (For this example I am using Rxjs 6 along with rxjs-compat package)
Here we will be sending a message using MessageService
class which is declared as @Injectable
to inject as a dependency in component. The message will be emitted on a button click from app.component.html
. The same message will be retrieved in message.component.ts
to show it in the html template message.component.html
. We will include the selector for MessageComponent
which is <app-messagecomponent></app-messagecomponent>
in the app.component.html
.
Here is the complete code below
message.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable,Subject} from 'rxjs';
@Injectable()
export class MessageService {
private subject = new Subject<any>();
sendMessage(message: string) {
this.subject.next({ text: message });
}
clearMessage() {
this.subject.next();
}
getMessage(): Observable<any> {
return this.subject.asObservable();
}
}
app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MessageService } from './message.service';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent {
name = 'Angular 6';
constructor(private service:MessageService){}
sendMessage(): void {
// send message to subscribers via observable subject
this.service.sendMessage('Message from app Component to message Component!');
}
clearMessage():void{
this.service.clearMessage();
}
}
app.component.html
<button (click)="sendMessage()">Click here to test message</button> <br><br>
<app-messagecomponent></app-messagecomponent>
message.component.ts
import { Component, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';
import { MessageService } from './message.service';
@Component({
selector: 'app-messagecomponent',
templateUrl: 'message.component.html'
})
export class MessageComponent implements OnDestroy {
message: any = {};
subscription: Subscription;
constructor(private messageService: MessageService) {
// subscribe to app component messages
this.subscription = this.messageService.getMessage().subscribe(message => { this.message = message; });
}
ngOnDestroy() {
// unsubscribe to ensure no memory leaks
this.subscription.unsubscribe();
}
}
message.component.html
<p>The incoming message : </p> <br>
{{message?.text }}
Here I have used Elvis operator in case the message
is undefined
.
Here is a working demo : https://stackblitz.com/edit/rxjs-snaghl
Let me know if you are looking for something like this.
you can use input for the same
< app-messagecomponent [YourInputVariableName]=
"YourMessage" >< /app-messagecomponent>
in app.compnent write
YourMessage:any='my Message to be displayed in the messageComponent';
in app-message.component write
@Input YourInputVariableName:any;
you can print message in app-messagecomponent by this.YourInputVariableName
