Switch statement for string matching in JavaScript
- by yaya3
How do I write a swtich for the following conditional?
If the url contains "foo", then settings.base_url is "bar".
The following is achieving the effect required but I've a feeling this would be more manageable in a switch:
var doc_location = document.location.href;
var url_strip = new RegExp("http:\/\/.*\/");
var base_url = url_strip.exec(doc_location)
var base_url_string = base_url[0];
//BASE URL CASES
// LOCAL
if (base_url_string.indexOf('xxx.local') > -1) {
settings = {
"base_url" : "http://xxx.local/"
};
}
// DEV
if (base_url_string.indexOf('xxx.dev.yyy.com') > -1) {
settings = {
"base_url" : "http://xxx.dev.yyy.com/xxx/"
};
}
Thanks
