Lack of understanding with controller <=> others and model <=> view

Hi, @sylouuu, thanks on your question.
I put together a quick pen, that shows how Handlers, Models and View can communicate.

If you have more questions, please don't hesitate on asking or creating an issue.

[PabloVallejo]

Regarding your example, you should make sure that there and endpoint for /person, that is, an API that will receive the POST request and return a response. If the request fails, the event post.create will not be triggered.

My POST request is 200 HTTP code, but no JSON result, is that matter?

Is it important to declare in this order: M > V > C(H) ?

[PabloVallejo]

Yes, given that the request, expects to receive JSON data, and an empty string doesn't qualify for JSON.

Also, it's important to declare you scripts M > V > H.

Thank's, almost done. I didn't find any example to communicate between handler & view from an event (in handler)?

My click event must trigger a view method which updates the DOM.

[PabloVallejo]

Well, actually the events you define in the handler, can only call handler methods, but what you can do is from the method, invoke the view member.

// Handler
// ...
    events: {
        'click .intro-text': 'showPost'
    },

    showPost: function(e) {

        var target = e.currentTarget
        ,   postId = $( target ).data( 'post-id' );

        // Call view method
        demoView.myMethod( postId );
    }

// ...

That's right! Thank's again.
