Passing an Object to Switch Case Javascript

Question

I wanted to have a switch/case statement that accepts an object in Javascript.

The function looks like this.

const validate = (values) => { values is an object, can be accessed like so (values.bar, values.foo)
  const errors = {}

  switch(values) {
    case !values.bar || values.bar === '':
       errors.bar = 'Enter bar'
    case values.bar.length < 10: 
       errors.bar = 'Bar is too short'
    case !values.foo || values.foo === '':
       errors.foo = 'Enter foo'
    ...

    default: 
      return errors
  } 
}

This doesn't work and I have used an if/else statement instead, but I feel like a switch/case would be perfect for this kind of example. Thoughts?

Answer 1

Change

switch(values) {

To

switch(true) {

switch checks with strict equality.

And use, if necessary some break if you do not want to fall through the switch cases (kudos to blex).
