Angular 2 Sibling Component Communication

Question

I have a ListComponent. When an item is clicked in ListComponent, the details of that item should be shown in DetailComponent. Both are on the screen at the same time, so

Answer 1

One way to do this is using a shared service.

However I find the following solution much simpler, it allows to share data between 2 siblings.(I tested this only on Angular 5)

In you parent component template:

app-sibling2.component.ts

import { AppSibling1Component } from '../app-sibling1/app-sibling1.component';
...

export class AppSibling2Component {
   ...
   @Input() data: AppSibling1Component;
   ...
}
