How to call a method inside a javascript object

Question

I\'m just learning about how to best organize my javascript code, and I had a question regarding this small piece of code I wrote:

var reportsControllerIndex = {

You need to use a variable reference to this outside the getJSON function. getJSON sets the context of the callback within jquery.

Like this:

var self = this;
$.getJSON('/reports.json', function(data) {
    self.plotMapPoints(data);         
});
