    this.Ready = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      $.ajax(...).then(result => {
        // use result
        resolve(undefined);
      }).fail(reject);

foo.Ready.then(() => {
  // do stuff that needs foo to be ready, eg apply bindings
});

// using await
// code that doesn't need foo to be ready
await foo.Ready;
// code that needs foo to be ready
