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 = {

Late answer, but jQuery has a method called jQuery.proxy() that is made for this purpose. You pass it the function along with the value of this you want to retain, and it will return a function that ensures this is correct.

This way you don't need to define a variable.

drawMap: function() {
    $.getJSON('/reports.json', $.proxy(function(data) {
        this.plotMapPoints(data);         
    }, this));
}
