Question 160393 in Javascript Question posted in
A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Is a value different from any in a given list of values? (Javascript)

I’m trying to improve an old React web application for work when i stumble upon this variable:

const condition = (
  param !== const1 && param !== const2 && param !== const3 && ...
)

Is there a best practise to improve this very long and condition?

    You can shorten with the array method includes.
    This will return true if the array has the variable param, then use ! to switch the boolean to false:

    const condition = ![const1, const2, const3, const4].includes(param);

    Depending on your situation using condition with the ! operator (!condition) and declaring without might improve readability:

    const condition = [const1, const2, const3, const4].includes(param);

    The declaration above will likelly be my prefered option. However, there are a lot of other ways to achieve this:

    In the line below indexOf will return -1 when param is not part of the array:

    const condition = [const1, const2, const3, const4].indexOf(param) === -1;

    In the line below array method every tests whether all elements in the array pass the test implemented by the provided function. It returns a Boolean value:

    const condition = [const1, const2, const3, const4].every(value => value !== param)

    Create an array for your conditions.

    const conditions = [cond1, cond2, cond3, cond4];
return !condition.includes(conditions)

    You can also use some

    const conditions = [cond1, cond2, cond3, cond4];
return conditions.some(item => item !== condition)

    The idiomatic way of performing such check if you’re checking running the !== comparison for all items you should use the Array.every functional predicate.

    It checks that every item matches the condition:

    const condition = [value1, value2, value3].every(value => value !== parameter)
