Format.js and json rendering in Rails?

Question

I need to pass a json object and format.js from a Rails controller. if i do

    respond_to do |format|
     format.js 
    end

I am running a javascript file (controllername.js). If i do

    respond_to do |format|
     format.js {render json: @thing} 
    end

I get json ..

Is there a way to get both?
