Can I add a list of input values to be recognised instead of just the one in javascript?

The code below works fine but I would like to know if I can add more values to equal true like this..

if (text_value.includes("north", "east", "south", "west" ) === true)

or something similar? I'm terrible at JS so go easy on me, simple terms please.

document.getElementById('myText').onkeydown = function() {
  var text_value = document.getElementById('myText').value;
  if (text_value.includes("north") === true) {
    document.getElementById('OutputText').innerHTML = "You head North.";
  } else {
    document.getElementById('OutputText').innerHTML = "";
  }
};

<input type="text" id="myText" />
<div class="output" id="OutputText"></div>

`myText` is missing from your markup. Is that an ``? – Andy Mar 03 '23 at 15:18
There are more things than testing an array here. Please look at this https://jsfiddle.net/mplungjan/rfu0odp5/ – mplungjan Mar 03 '23 at 15:32
Yes Andy that was meant to be input. – Sea Skimmer Mar 04 '23 at 10:23
