how to find if a string includes something in a switch() javascript-CodePudding

i would like to find out if a string contains a certain word using a switch() statement

here is an example of what i want to use that for:

let text = "among"

switch(text.toLowerCase().includes()){
   case "among"
      console.log("not funny")
      break

   default:
      break
}

CodePudding user response：

Switch statement evaluates an expression so this code will not work. You could store possible inclusions in an array and loop through the array, then depending on the evaluation output a certain response with a switch statement.

let text = "among"

let words = ["among", "text", "test"]


function test(word, wordArr) {
    for (let w of wordArr) {
        if (w === word) {
            switch (w) {
                case "among":
                    console.log("among word");
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
}

console.log(test(text, words))
