FYI, switch statements are not loosely typed

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:03PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

Just a little FYI in case anyone runs into this issue.  There is a significant and sneaky difference between if/else and switch: switch used a strongly typed comparison (i.e. source and case types must match)

So something like this will fail:

 var IDS = { STD:1, EX:2 };  var someIdFromSomewhere = '1'; (note NS field api methods return strings)    switch(someIdFromSomewhere)  {      case IDS.STD:  //  this will evaluate to false. IDS.STD is a Number and someIdFromSomewhere is a String  } 


It just bit me in the but for about an hour so I thought I would share real quick in case anyone else didn't know or forgot about this detail...
