Question

I have the following code in javascript?

if ($(form).data('action') == "Edit") {
  xx
} else if ($(form).data('action') == "Create"){
  xy
} else if ($(form).data('action') == "Delete"){
  xz
}

Is it possible for me to simplify this and also have some default path?

You could also create an object that contains your actions:

var Actions = {
    'Edit' : function () {},
    'Create' : function () {},
    'Delete' : function () {}
};

var action = $(form).data('action');

if (Actions.hasOwnProperty(action)) {
    Actions[action]();
}
