Backbone JS: can one view trigger updates in other views?

Question

In my simple project I have 2 views - a line item view (Brand) and App. I have attached function that allows selecting multiple items:

var BrandView = Backbone.V         


        

Answer 1

Same as John has suggested above, the Mediator Pattern works really good in this scenario, as Addy Osmani summing this issue up again in Backbone fundamentals.

Wound up using the Backbone.Mediator plugin which is simple and great, and makes my AMD View modules working together seamlessly =)
