# deferred.rejectWith()

## deferred.rejectWith ( context, args ) Returns: Deferred version added: 1.5

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

- args
  Type: Array
  An optional array of arguments that are passed to the failCallbacks.

Description: Reject a Deferred object and call any failCallbacks 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 by returning a restricted Promise object through `deferred.promise()`.

When the Deferred is rejected, any failCallbacks added by `deferred.then` or `deferred.fail` are called. Callbacks are executed in the order they were added. Each callback is passed the `args` from the `deferred.reject()` call. Any failCallbacks added after the Deferred enters the rejected state are executed immediately when they are added, using the arguments that were passed to the `.reject()` call. For more information, see the documentation for Deferred object.
