var map = new Map([
  [0, "Initializing"],
  [1, "Idle"],
  [2, "Running"]
]);
function switchCase(value) {
  switch (value) {
    case 0: return "Initializing";

Tests:

map lookup
let value = map.get(0); value = map.get(32); value = map.get(1);
switch case
let value = switchCase(0); value = switchCase(32); value = switchCase(1);
if/else
let value = ifElse(0); value = ifElse(32); value = ifElse(1);
