Pub/Sub Service for Angular 7

A simple publisher/subscriber service. This repository is forked from angular-pubsub and the only reason I changed it was to use RXJs version 6 and above. and updated the angular packages.

All credit goes to the owner and contributers of angular-pubsub repo.

Usage

• Import service in your codes or download via npm or bower.

npm i --save angular7-pubsub

• Add module bundle to imports in your application.

...

import { PubSubModule } from 'angular7-pubsub'; // <= HERE

@NgModule({
declarations: [
    RootComponent,
    NavigationComponent,
    OverlayComponent
],
imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,
    PubSubModule.forRoot() // <= AND HERE
],
providers: [], 
bootstrap: [RootComponent]
})

...

• And import service wherever you want

PubSubService.$pub(event: string, eventObject?: any): void

Publish event to all subscriber.

etc.

export class OverlayComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
    constructor(private pubsub: PubSubService) { }

    anyFunc(){
        this.pubsub.$pub('pleaseCloseSidenav', 'helloIAmOverlay');
    }
}

PubSubService.$sub(event: string): Observable

Subscribe to channel.

etc.

    closeSidenavSub: Subscription;
    openSidenavSub: Subscription;
    constructor(private pubsub: EventDispatcherService) { }

    ngOnInit() {
        // usage of $sub(event: string): <Observable<any>>;
        this.closeSidenavSub = this.pubsub.$sub('pleaseCloseSidenav').subscribe((from) => {
            this.sidenavOpened = false;
        });

        // usage of $sub(event: string, callback: (value: any) => void, error?: (error: any) => void, complete?: () => void): Subscription;
        this.openSidenavSub = this.pubsub.$sub('pleaseOpenSidenav', (from) => {
            this.sidenavOpened = true;
        });
