\title With
\brief [with] With statements are strongly discouraged in QML.
 
\qmllintwarningcategory with
 
\section1 With statements
 
\section2 What happened?
The JavaScript \c{with} statement was used.
 
\section2 Why is this bad?
With statements might cause false positives when analysing unqualified identifiers. Also, \c{with}
statements are
\l{https://262.ecma-international.org/#sec-with-statement}{marked as deprecated by the latest JavaScript standard}.
 
\section2 Example
\qml
import QtQuick
 
Item {
    function f() {
        with (Math) {
            return PI
        }
    }
}
\endqml
To fix this warning, replace the \c{with} statement with a destructuring property:
\qml
import QtQuick
 
Item {
    function f() {
        const { PI } = Math;
        return PI
    }
}
 
\endqml
