Set value to multiple selector on condition I have code and set the value to hidden 0 or 1 on condition. Is there a better way to solve this?

&lt;input type="hidden" name="type_product" value=""   class="type_product"/&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="type_category" value=""  class="type_category" /&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="type_modifier" value=""  class="type_modifier"/&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="type_variant" value=""   class="type_variant" /&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
   $(function(){
       let dataType = "product"; // category
       if (dataType == "product") {
           $(".type_product").val(1);
           $(".type_category").val(0);
           $(".type_modifier").val(1);
           $(".type_variant").val(0);
}
      if (dataType == "category") {
          $(".type_category").val(1);
          $(".type_product").val(0);
          $(".type_modifier").val(0);
          $(".type_variant").val(1);
      }
   })
 &lt;/script&gt;
The first and most simple thing to do, in this case, is to drop that if. Duplicated code always smells:

const isProduct = dataType === "product";
$(".type_product").val(isProduct ? 1 : 0);
$(".type_category").val(isProduct ? 0 : 1);
$(".type_modifier").val(isProduct ? 1 : 0);
$(".type_variant").val(isProduct ? 0 : 1);


Note the use of === instead of ==. Note that you may write $(".type_product, .type_modifier") to reduce number of lines but I find it pretty odd because I'm aggregating selectors for objects with different content (and I'm updating their value, not their style). Just my opinion, anyway.

If this is everything you need then I'd keep it as simple as possible but what if logic is more complex? Let's introduce a function: val() accepts it as parameter:

$(".type_product").val(calculateTypeField);
$(".type_category").val(calculateProductField);


And so on. Those functions can be as complex as required (and you introduce some separation between your view and its view model. For even more complex cases you may also have a dictionary:

{
    'product': calculateProductField
}


To use together with a data-field attribute to map the function to the function which calculates it:

&lt;input type="hidden" name="type_product" value="" data-field="product" /&gt;


(of course you need to write few JavaScript lines to do this _mapping__)
