Object defaults
Learn Object defaults in CoffeeScript with a construct-specific explanation, a unique example, a practical boundary, and a mastery check.
Object defaults is an atomic CoffeeScript topic inside Patterns & Practical Code. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what Object defaults 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
options = Object.assign {limit:10, sort:"asc"}, limit:3
console.log options
Pay attention to the contract exposed by the type, which members belong to instances versus the type itself, and what dispatch occurs at runtime.
