DRY Javascript for a real newbie
1
I'm really new at Javascript (and coding in general) and I'm using it in a PDF form I'm creating.
This is what I want to do, but I know there's a better, DRYer way.
Appreciate your help.
this.getField("new_shares_A").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("new_shares_$_A").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("new_deb_A").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("new_deb_$_A").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("std_total_new_A").display = display.hidden;
if(getField("Elect").valueAsString==="A")
{
this.getField("new_shares_A").display = display.visible;
this.getField("new_shares_$_A").display = display.visible;
this.getField("new_deb_A").display = display.visible;
this.getField("new_deb_$_A").display = display.visible;
this.getField("std_total_new_A").display = display.visible;
}

Seriously? A guy comes here looking for help and you tell him to go somewhere else? I thought stack overflow was supposed to be a friendly environment.

One option would be to use an array of every field you're trying to get, and to figure out whether you want .visible or .hidden in advance:
const displayToUse = getField("Elect").valueAsString==="A"
? display.visible
: display.hidden;
[
'new_shares_A',
'new_shares_$_A',
'new_deb_A',
'new_deb_$_A',
'std_total_new_A'
].forEach((field) => {
this.getField(field).display = displayToUse;
});
