formValidation.js

// Destructuring cleans it up a bit
const { postCatalogues, updateCatalogues } = this.props;
const { catalogueName, activeStatusValidation } = formValidation;

// Bail early
if (catalogueName || activeStatusValidation) return;

// Model the data to avoid a switch - this makes more sense to me - seems more clear - you could even take this out of
// this method completely and include it as a property on the React component, as you may end up with more than add and edit,
// and perhaps it will be needed elsewhere?
const submitActions = {
 add: () => {
  // I'm not sure where cataologue is defined so you may need to include this as an argument in the add function?
  postCatalogues(catalogue);
 },
 edit: () => {
  // Same comment about _id and catalogue as the add function above
  updateCatalogues(_id, catalogue);
 }
}

submitActions[submitType]();

// Keep it DRY. If you're going to call this.close() on both add and edit, then might as well call it here
this.close();
