I have an if else construction that will sound absurd to you. Actually, I wrote a basic version of my real code so as not to prolong it. Is there anyone who can rationalize it?
let someThink
let someWhere
if(someThink === true){
// get someData in a database and after
if( someData > 5 ){
if(someWhere === true){
// get someData2 in a database and after
if( someData2 > 3 ){
console.log("Go to plans page")
} else {
console.log("Update data")
}
} else {
console.log("Go to plans page")
}
} else {
console.log("Update data")
}
} else if (someWhere === true){
// get someData2 in a database and after
if( someData2 > 3 ){
console.log("Go to plans page")
} else {
console.log("Update data")
}
} else {
console.log("Go to plans page")
}
You can use some early returns after finding a case for updating the data:
let someThink
let someWhere
if (someThink) {
// get someData in a database and after
if (someData <= 5) {
console.log("Update data")
return;
}
}
if (someWhere) {
// get someData2 in a database and after
if (someData2 <= 3) {
console.log("Update data")
return;
}
}
console.log("Go to plans page");
You can avoid the early returns by putting the data fetching stuff in some helper function instead of inside the decision logic:
let someThink
let someWhere
if (someThink && getSomeData() <= 5
|| someWhere && getSomeData2() <= 3
) {
console.log("Update data")
} else {
console.log("Go to plans page");
}
