switch typescript

Enums allow a developer to define a set of named constants.
An enum allows a collection of values to be used by name.
TypeScript provides both numeric and string-based enums.

typescript switch

A switch statement is a control-flow statement that tests the value of an expression against multiple cases.
Create a reusable function that takes an enum value as a parameter. Use a switch statement and switch on the provided value.

An enum can contain both string and number values

			
					enum Pets {
  Lizard = 'lizard',
  Dog = 'dog',
  Cat = 'cat',
  Snake = 'snake',
  Parrot = 'parrot'
}

function getPet(petName : Pets) {
    switch (petName) {
        case Pets.Lizard:
            console.log("I own a lizard");
            break;
        case Pets.Dog:
            console.log("I own a dog");
            break;
        case Pets.Cat:
            console.log("I own a cat");
            break;
        case Pets.Snake:
            console.log("I own a snake");
            break;
        case Pets.Parrot:
            console.log("I own a parrot");
            break;
        default:
            console.log("I don't own a pet");
            break;
    }
}

getPet(Pets.Dog)

getPet(Pets.Parrot)

If you run the code from the example above,

Output

			
					I own a dog

I own a parrot
