## Installation
|
|
|
|
$ npm install with
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var addWith = require('with')
|
|
|
|
addWith('obj', 'console.log(a)')
|
|
// => ';(function (console, a) {
|
|
// console.log(a)
|
|
// }("console" in obj ? obj.console :
|
|
// typeof console!=="undefined" ? console : undefined,
|
|
// "a" in obj ? obj.a :
|
|
// typeof a !== "undefined" ? a : undefined));'
|
|
|
|
addWith('obj', 'console.log(a)', ['console'])
|
|
// => ';(function (console, a) {
|
|
// console.log(a)
|
|
// }("a" in obj ? obj.a :
|
|
// typeof a !== "undefined" ? a : undefined));'
|
|
```

## API
|
|
|
|
### addWith(obj, src[, exclude])
|
|
|
|
The idea is that this is roughly equivallent to:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
with (obj) {
|
|
src
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are a few differences though. For starters, assignments to variables will always remain contained within the with block.
|
|
|
|
e.g.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var foo = 'foo'
|
|
with ({}) {
|
|
foo = 'bar'
|
|
}
|
|
assert(foo === 'bar')// => This fails for compile time with but passes for native with
|
|
|
|
var obj = {foo: 'foo'}
|
|
with ({}) {
|
|
foo = 'bar'
|
|
}
|
|
assert(obj.foo === 'bar')// => This fails for compile time with but passes for native with
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It also makes everything be declared, so you can always do:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
if (foo === undefined)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
instead of
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
if (typeof foo === 'undefined')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is not the case if foo is in `exclude`. If a variable is excluded, we ignore it entirely. This is useful if you know a variable will be global as it can lead to efficiency improvements.
|
|
|
|
It is also safe to use in strict mode (unlike `with`) and it minifies properly (`with` disables virtually all minification).
