Error Duplicate Const Declaration in Switch Case Statement

Question

I have the following code and I get the error \'Duplicate Declaration query_url\'.

  switch(condition) {
    case \'complex\':
      const query_url = `somet         


        

Answer 1

if you need to redeclare the same variable in each case see @Bergi 's answer bellow

if query_url can have multiple values depending on the switch branch obviously you need a variable ( declare either with var or let ).

const is set once and stays that way.

example usage with let

let query_url = '';
switch(condition) {
  case 'complex':
    query_url = `something`;
    break;
  default:
    query_url = `something`;
    break;
}
