Multiple if else to 'Switch' condition in Transform map

[Suvetha S]

Hi All,

I want to change the below multiple if condition to a switch statement. Please help with that

var targetRecord = new GlideRecord("cmdb_ci_ip_router");
if (targetRecord.get("serial_number", source.u_sn) && (source.u_sn != "")) {
return targetRecord.sys_id.toString();
} else if (targetRecord.get("name", source.u_name) && (source.u_name != "")) {
return targetRecord.sys_id.toString();
} else if (targetRecord.get("ip_address", source.u_mgmtip) && (source.u_mgmtip != "")) {
return targetRecord.sys_id.toString();
} else{
return -1;
}
})(source);

Hello Suvetha,

You can write logic like this:

var targetRecord = new GlideRecord("cmdb_ci_ip_router");
switch(true){
    case targetRecord.get("serial_number", source.u_sn) && (source.u_sn != ""):
        return targetRecord.sys_id.toString();
    case targetRecord.get("name", source.u_name) && (source.u_name != ""):
        return targetRecord.sys_id.toString();
    case targetRecord.get("ip_address", source.u_mgmtip) && (source.u_mgmtip != ""):
        return targetRecord.sys_id.toString();
    default:
        return -1;
}
