Javascript: "Deprecated"

Question

I am new in learning Javascript and as I was following the tutorial I found that console.log(name); got (name) struck through in such a way claiming it is "Deprecated".

If there is an explanation on what that means or what I should do to remove that strike, I would be really thankful.

Answer 1

Because you used var name = ..., TypeScript thinks you are referring to window.name, which TypeScript considers deprecated. You can fix this error by:

1. Use a different variable identifier, like anotherName -

var anotherName = 'Bob'

console.log(anotherName)

2. Move the code inside a function. -

(() => {
  var name = 'bob'

  console.log(name)
})()
