@page \"/newrecord/{Employees}\"
@inject HttpClient http

Answer 1

A viable solution to such issue is to implement the state pattern and notification pattern in a service that keep the state of objects and notify subscribing objects of changes. Thus, you can create a service which cache a collection of Employees, allow objects (your main component in this case) to add employees to that collection, and notify subscribers ( newrecord ) of that fact, enabling access to this collection, or still better passing it from the service to the subscriber object in the form of event args object. Here's a basic sample how to implement the state pattern and notification pattern. (note: this sample works perfectly fine, and it was not created for the answer...)

Child1.razor

@inject NotifierService Notifier
@implements IDisposable

@inject IState State


Show Easter Eggs


User puts in something

Add value

@foreach (var value in Notifier.ValuesList)
{
   
@value
}


@code {
private string value { get; set; }

public void AddValue()
{
    Notifier.AddTolist(value);

}

public async Task OnNotify()
{
    await InvokeAsync(() =>
    {
        StateHasChanged();
    });
}


protected override void OnInitialized()
{
    Notifier.Notify += OnNotify;
}
public void Dispose()
{
    Notifier.Notify -= OnNotify;
}
}

Child2.razor

@inject NotifierService Notifier
@implements IDisposable

@inject IState State


@if (State.ShowEasterEggs)
{
  EASTER EGGS SHOWN
}



Displays Value from service and lets user put in new value



Set Value

@code {
  private string value { get; set; }


 public void AddValue()
 {
    Notifier.AddTolist(value);

 }

 protected override void OnInitialized()
 {
    State.Notify += OnNotify;

 }

 public void OnNotify()
 {
    InvokeAsync(() =>
    {
        StateHasChanged();
    });
 }


 public void Dispose()
 {
    State.Notify -= OnNotify;
 }

}

NotifierService.cs

 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Net.Http;
 using System.Threading.Tasks;
 using ChildComponentsCommunication.Shared;
 using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;

 namespace ChildComponentsCommunication
{
    public class NotifierService
    {
        private readonly List values = new List();
        public IReadOnlyList ValuesList => values;

        public NotifierService()
        {

        }

        public async void AddTolist(string value)
        {
            values.Add(value);
            if (Notify != null)
            {
               await Notify?.Invoke();
            }

        }

        public event Func Notify;
  }
}

IState.cs

 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Linq;
 using System.Threading.Tasks;

 namespace ChildComponentsCommunication
{
  public interface IState
  {
    event Action Notify;
    bool ShowEasterEggs { get; set; }
  }
  public class State : IState
  {
    public event Action Notify;

    bool showEggs = false;
    public bool ShowEasterEggs
    {
        get => showEggs;
        set
        {
            if (showEggs != value)
            {
                showEggs = value;

                if (Notify != null)
                {
                    Notify?.Invoke();
                }
            }
        }
      }

   }
}

Startup.ConfigureServices

 services.AddSingleton();
 services.AddScoped();

Hope this works...
