Any alternate of if-else/Switch statement

Help
#1

Hi Team, I need to verify response based on the certain conditions. Yes I can verify through if/else or switch statement but there is any other way to verify such responses.

Response:
“rank”: {
“id”: 110,
“description”: “Director”
}

Now here we have 50 ids and based on that different description since if/else and switch statement making code more lengthy, Any other solution?

Let me know if need more info.

Hey @aakashjain8693 :wave:

I understand you want to verify “description” in the response based on its “id” value.
In that case, maybe you can define a dictionary (object) linking id value and description (as below) and compare “description” value in the response to that value in dictionary.

const dict = {
    110: 'director', 
    120: 'programmer'
}

pm.test('Check response value', () => {
    pm.expect(pm.response.json().description).to.eql(dict[pm.response.json().id])
})

Hope this helps!
