Lightning Web Component: How to use Publish-Subscribe event in Lightining Cloud

How can we use publish-subscriber event pattern in Community Cloud using lightining web component.
I have drag-and-drop two Lightining Web Component(LWC) in a community page. On click on first component I have to show some output in second component.
Same components are working in Lightning Page(Like: Account detail page) but not in Community page. I used pubsub module from the lwc-receipe for this.

Hi Varun,

The pub-sub module checks for page references when firing events, so that the event is scoped and only on the current page.
In Communities, we do support lightning-navigation as of Spring '19: 
  • http://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/spring19/release-notes/rn_networks_navigationchanges.htm
However, there are some limitations, currently, CurrentPageReference in LWC is not supported like @wire(CurrentPageReference)current page reference;, which is why you are getting undefined page references. We are currently working on supporting it, so it should be out soon!
For a temporary solution, you can just remove all the pageRef checking in pubsub :). Here's a quick example:

Also, we are soon going to be releasing an LWC sample that will work in Communities by default! This should help clear up any confusion when using LWC in Communities.

Thanks,
Nagendra
