Tests:

  • Polymorphism

     
            getImportantValuePolymorphism(class1);
            getImportantValuePolymorphism(class2);
            getImportantValuePolymorphism(class3);
            getImportantValuePolymorphism(class4);
            getImportantValuePolymorphism(class5);

  • Switch

     
            getImportantValueSwitch({type: 'MyClass1'});
            getImportantValueSwitch({type: 'MyClass2'});
            getImportantValueSwitch({type: 'MyClass3'});
            getImportantValueSwitch({type: 'MyClass4'});
            getImportantValueSwitch({type: 'MyClass5'});
