Discussion on: JS Refactoring Combo: Replace Nested If-Else with Guards

View post

Replies for: While I like the object construct and use it in many cases where the values are constant, in this particular case here, it would change the runtime...

Small bonus: this variant would work without the downsides. However, I think it's harder to understand than the approach with guard clauses / early returns:

const cases = {
  isDead: deadAmount,
  isSeparated: separatedAmount,
  isRetired: retiredAmount
};
return (cases[result] ?? normalPayAmount)();
