eslint/no-with Correctness

This rule is turned on by default.

What it does

Disallow with statements

Why is this bad?

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

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

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

How to use

To enable this rule using the config file or in the CLI, you can use:

json
{
    "rules": {
        "no-with": "error"
    }
}
bash
oxlint --deny no-with
