Javascript conditional switch statement

Question

Is there a way to write a conditional switch statement in javascript?

I\'m guessing not, since the following is always going to default:

    var raw

Don't try this at home, or take it too seriously, this is just for sugary fun...

function conditionalSwitch(value, cond, callback /* cond, callback, cond, callback, ... */ ) {
  for (var i = 1; i < arguments.length; i += 2) {
    if (arguments[i](value)) {
      arguments[i + 1](value);
      return;
    }
  }
}



function test(val) {
  let width, height;

  conditionalSwitch(val,
  
    (val) => val > 10,
    () => [height, width] = [48,36],

    (val) => val > 5,
    () => [height, width] = [40, 30],

    // Default
    () => true,
    () => [height, width] = [16, 12]
  )
  console.log(width, height);
}


test(4.9);  // 12 16
test(5.1);  // 30 40
test(10.1); // 36 48
