CoffeeScript String Comparison

coffeescript, if-statement

Solution

I think you probably want

if value in ['something', 'else', 'wow']

Problem

In CoffeeScript, is there a way to simplify the following: ``` if(value === "something" || value === "else" || value === "wow"){} ``` I've tried: ``` if value is "something" or "else" or "wow" ``` But this produces the literal output of this: ``` if(value === "something" || "else" || "wow){} ``` Is there a way to check if a string is one of multiple values (OR or AND) in CoffeeScript?
