javascript - Would it be ridiculous to use a switch statement to handle irc server codes? -

there is plenty

I'm working a little bit, and only a few people support Started by these initially, and then a switch statement did not seem like a bad idea. But as much as I support more, the switch statement is getting more and it seems that it is out of control. One issue is that I have placed low level IRC handling code in a file so that it can be reused. I would like to put everything in a file. Another issue is that code blocks in the switch statements currently consider part of this IRC class and this statement is often used. Changing now will be a lot of work and start regression. The only problem is actually my rudeness for a long switch statement, otherwise you know that it works, and it is easy to read, but it is not really making it difficult to maintain but it is such a long switch statement. And this ceremony includes a switch statement, obviously, it is too long. : //

Once I make a switch for a switch, I define the actions that have been named after the value of the switch evaluation. Instead of switch:

  switch (val) {case: "alert": alert ("yo"); break; }  

I check to see if any method exists in the scope and execute it:

  obj.alert = function () { Alert ("yo"); } If (obj & amp; vjana (obj [val])) [obj [val] (); }  

But again in this case I have felt that there is a high risk in regressions and I am not sure that it is worth the effort to avoid getting a statement of statement that you have a hash (A javascript is not {}

object) As with work? Then, you can use an anonymous function for a small piece of code, and for larger pieces of code, you may have a reference to previously written work. I do not know anything about IRC, but here is a small example:

  var codehash = {001: function () {/ * something ... *}, 002: Big Imperent Object Some Functions}  

Like a bad example, but you get this idea.

Edit: If you think that you keep this long switch statement easily and without problems, then I think That it is ridiculous to rewrite your code, so remove switch But I know that I, personally, expect to maintain a hash table as above from a huge switch statement for several reasons. It is up to you. It seems like a ridiculous question that if you continue to insist that you have the only reason to rewrite your code then get rid of the switch statement.
