Case

The case statement is a shorthand for JavaScript's switch statement and takes the following form:

- var friends = 10
case friends
  when 0
    p you have no friends
  when 1
    p you have a friend
  default
    p you have #{friends} friends
<p>you have 10 friends</p>

Case Fall Through

You can use fall through just like in a select statement in JavaScript

- var friends = 0
case friends
  when 0
  when 1
    p you have very few friends
  default
    p you have #{friends} friends
<p>you have very few friends</p>

Block Expansion

Block expansion may also be used:

- var friends = 1
case friends
  when 0: p you have no friends
  when 1: p you have a friend
  default: p you have #{friends} friends
<p>you have a friend</p>
