Check a variable with multiple values in jquery

Question

I need to check if a variable in if condition as follows.

if(table_block_id == ('customer_details' || 'billing_details' || 'shipping_details')){
    }

I know it's the wrong method . Is there any other way to check all values in a single line ?

The easiest way would be to use Array.prototype.includes as EKW suggested in his answer.

However, due to its poor support I would recommend using Array.prototype.indexOf instead:

if(["customer_details", "billing_details", "shipping_details"].indexOf(table_block_id) !== -1){
    // code
}

There are a few methods you could use. I quite like the following:

if(["customer_details", "billing_details", "shipping_details"].includes(table_block_id)){
    // code
}

You can put the options in array and use jQuery $.inArray() or javascript indexOf() to search array.

var a = 'customer_details';
    arr = ['customer_details', 'billing_details', 'shipping_details'];

    if($.inArray(a, arr) != -1) // With jQuery

        //code
    else
        //code
