Calling function in typescript not working in alertify.js

Question

I'm using alertify plugin in typescript and it can't recognize the getData function. Please see below code

copyTemplate(id:any, pluginId:any, name:any ) {
     alertify.confirm(`Are you sure you want to copy ${name} to a new project template?`, function () {
        this.getData();
     }, function() {
          (<HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById('prefGroup')).value = '0';
     });
}

What's wrong with it? Error in browser:

use an arrow function. The scope of "this" is different inside the callback

copyTemplate(id:any, pluginId:any, name:any ) {
 alertify.confirm('Are you sure you want to copy ${name} to a new project template?',  () => {
    this.getData();
 }, () => {
      (<HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById('prefGroup')).value = '0';
 });

}

or store the value of this outside the function and use it

copyTemplate(id:any, pluginId:any, name:any ) {
 let self = this;
 alertify.confirm('Are you sure you want to copy ${name} to a new project template?',  function() {
    self.getData();
 }, function() {
      (<HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById('prefGroup')).value = '0';
 });

}
