  Check if Variable is equal to one of multiple values. (ex : 1 OR 4)

  Posted by Lucas Piazzini on August 13, 2022 at 5:35 pm

  Hello ! I have a menu and need my expression to check if its value is, for example, 1 OR 4 OR 7.
  Unfortunately, none of the methods I’ve seen online work, which are :
  if(menu == 1|| 4 || 7)

  and

  var array = [1,4,7];
  if(array.includes(menu))

  None of these give me a true result when menu is equal to one of them, all I have are false returns. Do you have any ideas?

  Sincerely, Lucas

  The syntax for multiple OR conditions would need to be something like:

  if(menu==1 || menu==4 || menu==7)

  Your idea of using includes() is spot on. But you might have to add .value to your variable if it’s pointing to a control like a menu. So it might looks something like:

  let arr = [1,4,7];

  arr.includes(menu.value);
