How to get multiple strings into one case in Java Script?

Question

So I've been using switch statements, and was wondering if there is a way to get several strings into one case, instead of only one string per case.

For example:

switch(fruits) {
case 'apples','bananas','oranges','strawberries':

//I'd like to get those four  fruits into one case, instead of doing this:   
switch (fruits) {
    case 'apples':
    break;
    case 'bananas':
    break;
    case 'oranges':
     break;
     case 'strawberries':

If this can be done it will save me a lot of time.

Answer 1

Use it like:

switch (fruits) {
case 'apples':
case 'bananas':
case 'oranges': 
case 'strawberries': 
    //Your code
    break; 
}

Answer 2

Do not use switch/case when you need multiple value matches. Use IF :

if(fruits === 'apples'  || 
   fruits === 'bananas' || 
   fruits === 'oranges' || 
   fruits === 'strawberries'){
   //do some action
}

Answer 3

You could avoid the switch altogether: store all the fruits in an array and then use some to see if the fruit is there:

var arr = ['apples', 'bananas', 'oranges', 'strawberries'];

function check(arr, fruit) {
    return arr.some(function (el) {
        return el.indexOf(fruit) > -1;
    });
}

if (check(arr, 'oranges') {
    // do stuff if true
}
