Basic Usage

import { Suicchi } from "suicchi";
 
const switchCase = new Suicchi();
 
switchCase.addCase("car", "Ford GT");
switchCase.addCase("name", "Rye");
switchCase.addCase("gender", "female");
 
const name = switchCase.evaluate("name");
 
console.log(name); // => "Rye"
 
// the above code will translate to:
// let name;
 
// switch ("name") {
//   case "car":
//     name = "Ford GT";¸¸
//     break;
//   case "name":˚v
//     name = "Rye";
//     break;
//   case "gender":
//     name = "female";
//     break;
//   default:
//     name = () => {}
//     break;
// }
 
// console.log(name);

Adding a default case

import { Suicchi } from "suicchi";
 
const defaultCase = "no-record";
 
const switchCase = new Suicchi(defaultCase);
 
switchCase.addCase("car", "Ford GT");
switchCase.addCase("name", "Rye");
switchCase.addCase("gender", "female");
 
const age = switchCase.evaluate("age");
 
console.log(age); // => "no-record"
 
// the above code will translate to
// let age;
 
// switch ("age") {
//   case "car":
//     age = "Ford GT";
//     break;
//   case "name":
//     age = "Rye";
//     break;
//   case "gender":
//     age = "female";
//     break;
//   default:
//     age = "no-record";
//     break;
// }
 
// console.log(age);

Multiple keys

import { Suicchi } from "suicchi";
 
const switchCase = new Suicchi();
 
switchCase.addCase(["car", "transportation"], "Ford GT");
switchCase.addCase("name", "Rye");
switchCase.addCase("gender", "female");
 
const car = switchCase.evaluate("car");
 
console.log(car); // will return "Ford GT"
 
// the above code will translate to
// let car;
 
// switch ("name") {
//   case "car":
//   case "transportation":
//     car = "Ford GT";
//     break;
//   case "name":
//     car = "Rye";
//     break;
//   case "gender":
//     car = "female";
//     break;
//   default:
//     car = () => {}
//     break;
// }

API

Constructor

The Suicchi Object constructor only takes in 1 optional parameter which can either a value, a function, or an object. And it generates the case depending on the type of parameter you pass in.

If you only pass in a value or a function, like the following:

const Switch = new Suicchi(() => {
  // DO OTHER THINGS...
  return 1 + 1;
});
const aSwitch = new Suicchi(() => ('aValue'));
const bSwitch = new Suicchi('anotherValue');

You'll be doing something equivalent to:

// Switch
switch(x) {
  default:
    // DO OTHER THINGS...
    return 1 + 1;
}
 
// aSwitch
switch(x) {
  default:
    return 'aValue';
}
 
// bSwitch
switch(x) {
  default:
    return 'anotherValue';
}

But if you pass in an Object, you'll be able to pass in other cases and routines besides the default case and routine, like so: (Note: if you pass in an object - the 'default' property will be required)

const cSwitch = new Suicchi({
  default: null;
  case1: "What";
  case2: () => (1234)
})

You'll be doing something similar to:

// cSwitch
switch(x) {
  case 'case1':
    return 'What';
 
  case 'case2':
    return 1234;
 
  default:
    return null;
}

AddCase

The AddCase method allows you to add new or overwrite existing cases. It takes in 2 parameters - the case and the routine.

The case can be of the following types: string, string[], or object;

if the case is an object, then the 2nd parameter, the routine, is no longer required as it should be paired into the key-value case object.

Example of use:

const x = new Suicchi();
 
// To assign a single case to a single routine
x.addCase("aValue", "anotherValue");
 
// the above is equivalent to:
switch(X) {
  case "aValue":
    return "anotherValue";
 
  // by default, this is already present at this point
  // as this is set upon initialization of the Suicchi object instance
  default:
    return null;
}
 
// To assign a multiple cases to a single routine
x.addCase(["val1", "val2"], "anotherValue");
 
// the above is equivalent to:
switch(X) {
  case "val1":
  case "val2":
    return "anotherValue";
 
  default:
    return null;
}
 
// To assign multiple cases to multiple routines
x.addCase({
  condition1: "12345",
  condition2: 12345,
});
 
// the above is equivalent to:
switch(X) {
  // ...EXISTING CASES AND ROUTINES
  case "condition1":
    return "12345";
 
  case "condition2":
    return 12345;
 
  // ...OTHER EXISTING CASES AND ROUTINES
  default:
    return null;
}
 

GetCases

The GetCases method will return a string array containing the existing cases that you've set for the Suicchi instance.

const x = new Suicchi({
  default: null;
  case1: "What";
  case2: () => (1234)
})
 
x.getCases(); // => ['case1', 'case2', 'default']

EvaluateCase (a.k.a Evaluate)

The EvaluateCase (or Evaluate, as it's still supported atm) method lets you run a specific case by passing in the case as a parameter.

if the provided parameter is does not match any of the cases, it will run the default routine.

Also, the case parameter is case-sensitive.

const x = new Suicchi({
  default: "Awesome",
  Rye: "Gay",
  rye: "Gay",
  rYe: "Gay",
  ryE: "Gay"
});
 
x.EvaluateCase("Ray");   // => "Awesome"
x.EvaluateCase("Jacob"); // => "Awesome"
x.EvaluateCase("Rye");   // => "Gay"
x.EvaluateCase("rye");   // => "Gay"
x.EvaluateCase("rYe");   // => "Gay"
x.EvaluateCase("ryE");   // => "Gay"
