Emberjs - how to access method of one controller from another controller'

Question

In emberjs pre2 we could access controller or any method in controller from another controller in following way:

App.get('router').get('navController').method1();

Can anybody suggest what could be the similar code for emberjs rc1?

Thanks

Answer 1

Since controllerFor is deprecated, I think the a more correct way would be with needs:

this.get('controllers.nav').method1()

It requires declaring your needs in your controller:

App.YourController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
  needs: ['nav'],
  ....

Answer 2

Inside a Controller or a Route you can try

this.controllerFor("nav").method1()
