unless

Learn unless in CoffeeScript with a construct-specific explanation, a unique example, a practical boundary, and a mastery check.

10 min read • Beginner

unless is an atomic CoffeeScript topic inside Control Flow. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.

Focus on what unless changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.

Topic-specific example

coffeescript-03-02-unless.coffee
coffeescript Try It Live
ready = false
unless ready then console.log "waiting"
Edge case / engineering note

Change the key input in this CoffeeScript example and predict the result first; the named construct should be the reason the behavior changes.
