noWith

Diagnostic Category: lint/complexity/noWith

JavaScript (and super languages)

Since: v1.0.0

Sources:

Same as: no-with

Disallow with statements in non-strict contexts.

The with statement is potentially problematic because it adds members of an object to the current scope, making it impossible to tell what a variable inside the block actually refers to.

Examples

Invalid

function f() {
  with (point) {
    r = Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y); // is r a member of point?
  }
}
