Welcome to switch-case 👋

A functional approach to switches

Install

npm install @omgimalexis/switch-case

Usage

The latest release now supports both require and import JavaScript syntax, and provides a more complete TypeScript system. This gives your editor super powers like more exhaustive types and intellisense when used with more advanced features like as const. Functional switches will return their real case type; you can use the library synchronously for every non-async case.

import { Switch } from '@omgimalexis/switch-case'

const { Case } = Switch({
  a: 1,
  b: 2,
  default: async () => 3 as const
} as const)

// Returns selected case
const result1 = Case('a');
//    ^ const result1: 1

console.log(result1)
// Expected: 1

// Returns default case when selected isn't found
const result2 = await Case('z');
//    ^ const result2: 3

console.log(result2)
// Expected: 3

The version 0.0.3 style of switch case function is still available for migration so your projects just work. It also benefits from the new type system!

const switchCase = require('@omgimalexis/switch-case').default;

// Returns selected case
{
  const case = 'a';
  const result = await switchCase({
    a: 1,
    b: 2,
    default: 3
  }, case);

  // result = 1
}

// Returns default case when selected isn't found
{
  const case = 'z';
  const result = await switchCase({
    a: 1,
    b: 2,
    default: 3
  }, case);

  // result = 3
}

// Allows functions
{
  const case = 'a';
  const result = await switchCase({
    a: () => 1,
    b: 2,
    default: 3
  }, case);

  // result = 1
}

// Allows async functions
{
  const case = 'a';
  const result = await switchCase({
    a: async () => 1,
    b: 2,
    default: 3
  }, case);

  // result = 1
}
