Switch statement for multiple cases in JavaScript

Question

I need multiple cases in switch statement in JavaScript, Something like:

switch (varName) {    case "afshin", "saeed", "larry":        alert('Hey');        break;     default:        alert('Default case');        break; } 

How can I do that? If there's no way to do something like that in JavaScript, I want to know an alternative solution that also follows the DRY concept.

Answer 1

Use the fall-through feature of the switch statement. A matched case will run until a break (or the end of the switch statement) is found, so you could write it like:

switch (varName) {    case "afshin":    case "saeed":    case "larry":         alert('Hey');        break;     default:         alert('Default case'); }
