I have a JavaScript class that has a method:

function someClass() {
    this.someMethod = someClass_someMethod;
}

function someClass_someMethod() {
    // make an AJAX request
}

The problem is that someClass_someMethod() needs to return the value of the AJAX request.

I'm using jQuery's $.getJSON() method to fetch the data. The data needs to be returned but it seems the only way to get the data is through a callback.

How can this be done?
