It's possible to use a switch block as an alternative to if else if else, but with a few caveats...

switch(value) case expression.js

// classic example
if ( somevalue === 1 ) {
  // do the thing
} else if ( somevalue === 2 ) {
  // do some other thing
}

switch ( somevalue ) {
  case 1: /* do some thing */ break;
  case 2: /* do some other thing */ break;
  default: break;
}

// alternative example
switch ( true ) {
  case somevalue === 1: /* do some thing */ break;
  case somevalue === 2: /* do some other thing */ break;
  default: break;
}

// more interesting example
function checkValue( value, expected ){ return value === expected; }

switch ( true ) {
  case checkValue( somevalue, 1 ): /* do some thing */ break;
  case checkValue( somevalue, 2 ): /* do some other thing */ break;
  default: break;
}

If you use the second variant, you need to make sure your expressions are actually returning boolean values. Given that you can use some more complex expressions it's possible to use the guard and default operations in the case expressions it could be returning a falsey/truthy value instead of false/true.
