Hello mate, thanks for sharing! I am trying to call a function of a component from a sibling component. Any idea on how to do it? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! really helpful.
Q - those the components must be siblings? As I see the can be totally foreign components that only share the service.
Or I just got it wrong?

EventEmitter is not meant to be used inside a service. They should be used only for emitting custom events inside components. You can use RxJS BehaviorSubject instead!

This very nice example, for communication between cross components.
