Subscribe to EventEmitter in Angular2 not working

Question

I'm learning Angular 2. I'm trying to send data from a component to other on the click of the first one.

Both components are siblings.

This is my code so far:

First Component:

@Component({
  selector: 'jsonTextInput',
  templateUrl: '../templates/jsonTextInput.html',
  directives: [Card, CardTitle, CardDescription, Icon],
  providers: [JsonChangeService]
})

export class JsonTextInput {
  json: string = '';

  constructor (private jsonChangeService: JsonChangeService) {
    this.jsonChangeService = jsonChangeService
  }

  process () {
      this.jsonChangeService.jsonChange(this.json)
  }
}

This is the service:

import {Injectable, EventEmitter} from '@angular/core';
@Injectable()

export default class JsonChangeService {
  public jsonObject: Object;

  stateChange: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter<any>();

  constructor (){
    this.jsonObject = {};
  }

  jsonChange (obj) {
    console.log('sending', obj)
    this.jsonObject = obj
    this.stateChange.emit(this.jsonObject)
  }
}

The call from the first component to the service is working, since the sending is being printed.

This is the second Component

@Component({
  selector: 'jsonRendered',
  templateUrl: '../templates/jsonrendered.html',
  directives: [Card, CardTitle],
  providers: [JsonChangeService]
})

export class JsonRendered {
  private jsonObject: Object

  constructor (private jsonChangeService: JsonChangeService) {
    this.jsonChangeService = jsonChangeService
    this.jsonObject = jsonChangeService.jsonObject
    this.jsonChangeService.stateChange.subscribe(json => { this.jsonObject = json; console.log('Change made!') })
  }

  ngOnInit () {
    console.log(1)
  }

  ngOnChanges () {
    console.log(2)
  }

  renderJson () {
    console.log(3)
  }
}

The function inside the subscribe to stateChange never runs. What am I missing?

EDIT

This is the content of my stateChange EventEmitter:

_isAsync: true
_isScalar: false
destination: undefined
dispatching: false
hasCompleted: false
hasErrored: false
isStopped: false
isUnsubscribed: false
observers: Array[0]
source:undefined

You have two different instances of JsonChangeService. That's why you don't receive message between components. You need to have one instance service, i.e. on parent component or on top level like this:

bootstrap(AppComponent, [JsonChangeService])
