EmberJS-Views Sending Events

Quiz

Description

You can send events to the view's controller by having clickable event on the element which affects state of the application.

Syntax

Ember.View.extend({
   click: function(evt) {
      this.get('controller').send('ClickableEvent', params);
   }
});

Ember.Controller.extend({
   actions: {
      ClickableEvent: function(params){
         //Do your logic
      }
   }
});
