javascript - Is there a better solution than using an if/then statement for this? -


i have extension detection function, relies heavily on numerous lines of if/then statements. there different method use same results? (all of variables defined @ higher level). want deal less code, , increase performance speeds.

use object map.

var map = {     "exe": {type:"exe",desc:"executable file"},      "vwx": {type:"vwx",desc:"vectorworks file"} };  var extt = "exe";  var doctype = map[extt].type; var docdesc = map[extt].desc;

advantages

  • lists data actual data, , contains 2 lines of assignment
  • data loaded json file, removing code entirely , making configurable without changing code
  • clear structure data
  • clear logic thats easy follow (no risk of later adding random line of code in 1 of if statements making hard debug)

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
