var Switch = require('switch-fn')

var fn = Switch({
  a: actionA,
  b: actionB,
  default: defaultAction
})

var result = fn('a') // => calls actionA with 'a' and gives back actionA's return value

API

Switch(cases) -> function

cases

Required Type: object

An object, with keys being the 'cases' to match against and values being the function to call in each case.

More Examples

As part of a data pipeline

var pipe = require('value-pipe')
var Switch = require('switch-fn')

var onStatus = pipe(getStatus, Switch({
  active: actOnActive,
  inactive: actOnInactive,
  pending: actOnPending
}))

var result = onStatus(user)

function getStatus (user) {
  return user.status
}

Pass in an array for numbers only

var Switch = require('switch-fn')

var fn = Switch([onZero, onOne])

fn(0)

Fibonacci

var fib = Switch({
  0: (n) => n,
  1: (n) => n,
  default: (n) => fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
});

fib(10) // => 55
