Using Enquire.js with Vue.js to query about the browser's size

Question

I'm using Enquire.js with Vue.js to query the browser's size and update two data properties accordingly. So, if I do this:

ready: function() {
    // Listen for changes in the browser's size
    window.addEventListener("resize",
    enquire.register("screen and (max-width:400px)", {
        match: function() {
            this.displayIsLarge = false;
            this.displayIsSmall = true;
            console.log("the screen is now small");
        },
        unmatch: function() {
            this.displayIsLarge = true;
            this.displayIsSmall = false;
            console.log("the screen is now large");
        }
    })
    );
}

It will output the correct message in the console (jsfiddle here), however it's not changing the value of displayIsLarge and displayIsSmall. What am I missing here?

The problem was with the scope of this. The full working code would be:

ready: function() {
    var self = this;
    // Listen for changes in the browser's size
    window.addEventListener("resize",
    enquire.register("screen and (max-width:400px)", {
        match: function() {
            self.displayIsSmall = true;
            self.displayIsLarge = false;
            console.log("the screen is now small");
        },
        unmatch: function() {
            self.displayIsLarge = true;
            self.displayIsSmall = false;
            console.log("the screen is now large");
        }
    })
    );
}
