How to usea Switch Statement in Javascript

In this approach, We switch on the enum value and return the corresponding string.

Syntax:

function enumToString(enumValue) {
  switch (enumValue) {
    case ENUM.VALUE1:
      return 'String1';
    case ENUM.VALUE2:
      return 'String2';
    // ... other cases
    default:
      return 'DefaultString';
  }
}

Example: In this example, the switch statement is used to convert a given enum value to its associated string.

Javascript

const ENUM = {
    VALUE1: 'A',
    VALUE2: 'B',
};
 
function enumToString(enumValue) {
    switch (enumValue) {
        case ENUM.VALUE1:
            return 'String1';
        case ENUM.VALUE2:
            return 'String2';
        default:
            return 'DefaultString';
    }
}
 
const currentEnumValue = ENUM.VALUE1;
const stringValue = enumToString(currentEnumValue);
console.log(stringValue);

Output

String1

Convert a JavaScript Enum to a String
