Refactoring a large block of chained if-else statements

Question

This seems like overkill and I would like to refactor this...any suggestions

    if($(this).text() == \"Grocery\"){
        $(\".type_changer\").attr(\"id\",         


        

Answer 1

Use class instead of id as inner wrapper

use array to store your custom text for matching later

$('.selector').each(function() {}

in this way you can make process common

use array replace method

from = ['Grocery','Restaurant']
to = ['gro','res']
