What is the difference between using the service variable change in a component versus subscribing to an...












0















I have three components. recipe, recipe-item and recipe-details. On clicking on a recipe from recipe-item component, recipe details of that particular recipe is displayed (i.e recipe-details component is getting activated).



I have one common service - recipe-service. Which I am thinking to use it for communicating between all the components.



Approach 1: When I click on a recipe from recipe-item, I will call a function which will point to another function in recipe service which in turn will mark a variable currentRecipe as the clicked recipe passed from recipe-item. This currentRecipe value I will access in the recipe/recipe-details components through ngOnInit to display the details. Will this approach work? will the view change as the variable changes in the service? I am doubtful of this approach as the ngOnInit only checks while initiating the component.



Approach 2: When I click on a recipe from recipe-item, I will call a function which will trigger an event emitter that was declared in the service, but emits currentRecipe directly from the recipe-item component. And, I will subscribe to this event from the ngOnInit of recipe and recipe-detail components to display the details.



I am a beginner and I am confused between the two approaches. I tried the first approach which did not work. The second approach works. I am not sure why the first approach did not work. In which scenario I should be using the first approach and in which scenario I should be using the second approach?



Thank you for the help!

  • Approach 2 is may be work, But It is very bad practice to use, EventEmitter is an angular abstraction and its only purpose is to emit events in components.

Both approaches will work, i would suggest you go with the 2nd Approach as both of your component are dependent and have a relationship.



You could use the @input() event emitter to transfer the details to the child component.
