    In most cases I'd prefer a lookup table over a switch/case.

    Switch case is a common source of bugs, because of its cyclomatic complexity and non-obvious syntax. I always prefer if..else or a look-up table/dict/hashmap/list (depending on the language)

    The compilers I use warn about missing break/return and C++17 introduces [[fallthrough]] for the very rare cases they were intentionally left out.

    @bittersweet @Huuugo it's not big enough for a lookup table. Not too small for a if else either.

    @kraator I'm using JS and haven't enabled eslint for Vue files yet.

    Just use if statements... Unless you have 100+ outcomes or something ridiculous, just use if

    If statements and case switches? You guys are so last year.
    let opts = {case1: 'result1', case2: 'result2'}
    return opt in opts ? opts[opt] : opts[0]

    (This one defaults to first case)

    @Huuugo but "lookup table" =/= code example.
