Alternative to the “switch” Statement

Question

I do not want to use Switch in my code, so I\'m looking for some alternative

Example with Switch:

function write(what) {

  switch(w         


        

Answer 1

I used a structure like this today:

var chosenColor = 'red';

var colorString = {
    'red': 'The color is red.',
    'green': 'The color is green.',
    'blue': 'The color is blue.',
}[chosenColor] || 'The color is unknown.';

I like that it's a really small amount of code to choose a string based on choice.

You could also pass it to a function:

alert({
    'red': 'The color is red.',
    'green': 'The color is green.',
    'blue': 'The color is blue.',
}[chosenColor] || 'The color is unknown.');
