Best way to call helper class function through ajax in module

Question

I need to access helper class function through ajax request.

In JS file :-

var sbfootscores = {};

    (function($){
        sbfootscores.getTeams = function(competition_id){
            $.ajax({
                url:'',
                type:"POST",
                data:{com_id:competition_id},
                success: function (data) {
                    console.log(data);
                }
            });
        }
    })(jQuery)

In helper Class:-

public static function getTeams(){
        //i need to access this function 
    }

What url to put in ajax's options url??

Any Help will be appreciated.

Assuming your module is utilising the com_ajax component that is included in Joomla 3.2+ then you can use the following:

url: 'index.php?option=com_ajax&module=NAME&method=getTeams&format=json'

Have a look at the Ajax Interface documentation for more information:
