Description

The @@unscopables symbol (Symbol.unscopables) can be defined on any object to exclude property names from being exposed as lexical variables in with with environment bindings. Note that if using Strict mode, with statements are not available and will likely also not need this symbol.

Setting a property to true in an unscopables object will make it unscopable and therefore it won't appear in lexical scope variables. Setting a property to false will make it scopable and thus it will appear in lexical scope variables.

Examples

The following code works fine in ES5 and below. However, in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) and later, the Array.prototype.keys() method was introduced. That means that inside with environment "keys" would now be the method and not the variable. That's when the unscopables symbol was introduced. A built-in unscopables setting is implemented as Array.prototype[@@unscopables] to prevent that some of the Array methods are being scoped into the with statement.

var keys = [];

with(Array.prototype) {
  keys.push("something");
}

Object.keys(Array.prototype[Symbol.unscopables]); 
// ["copyWithin", "entries", "fill", "find", "findIndex", 
//  "includes", "keys", "values"]

You can also set unscopables for your own objects.

var obj = { 
  foo: 1, 
  bar: 2 
};

obj[Symbol.unscopables] = { 
  foo: false, 
  bar: true 
};

with(obj) {
  console.log(foo); // 1
  console.log(bar); // ReferenceError: bar is not defined
}
