How to call a function in a backbone view from another backbone view

backbone.js, javascript

Solution

It's a bad practice you got there. Coupling between the views. Why don't you create a EventBus that inherits from the `Backbone.Events` then trigger the event that the another view subscribes too. When event occurs just trigger the save function that's it

View#1 Save

save:function(){
 EventBus.trigger("save:view");
}

View#2 Save

initialize:function(){
 EventBus.on("save:view:",this.save);
},
save:function(){
//your code
}

Sounds nice ? It should :)

Problem

In my current application, I have a `save` function in one of my backbone views. `custom_save : function() { // this method's save code // have to call another views save function here }` The other view name is `App.SettingsView` and it has a `save` method. I have to call this `save` method right after the `custom_save` logic. How can I call `App.SettingsView save` function inside `custom_save` function. Please not both are 2 different files Thanks
