# deferred.notifyWith()

## deferred.notifyWith ( context, args ) Returns: Deferred version added: 1.7

- context
  Type: Object
  Context passed to the progressCallbacks as the this object.

- args
  Type: Object
  Optional arguments that are passed to the progressCallbacks.

Description: Call the progressCallbacks on a Deferred object with the given context and args.

Normally, only the creator of a Deferred should call this method; you can prevent other code from changing the Deferred's state or reporting status by returning a restricted Promise object through deferred.promise().

When `deferred.notifyWith` is called, any progressCallbacks added by `deferred.then` or `deferred.progress` are called. Callbacks are executed in the order they were added. Each callback is passed the `args` from the `.notifyWith()`. Any calls to `.notifyWith()` after a Deferred is resolved or rejected (or any progressCallbacks added after that) are ignored. For more information, see the documentation for Deferred object.
