Rotation snapping, find next closest quaternion from an array in THREE.js - rotation

Question

I am rotating a cube around a particular axis (x or y or z) by dragging my mouse, lets say while dragging I calculate how much angle rotation I have to appy.
Now I have my current cube rotation in quaternion, and also an array of quaternions containing quaternions of 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, and 360 degrees.
When I am rotating my cube I want to find the closest quaternion from the array, lets say I am rotating in anti-clock and my cube is at 30, then the closest will be quaternion of 90 degrees from the array., similarly for 170 I should get 180 deg quaternion from the array.
currently I am maintaining a variable and depending upon the direction (clock or anti-clock) I am rotating the cube I am managing that variable and finding the next required quaternion from the array. But I need a more efficient way if it exists.
currently My code is doing something like this, If anyone have some solution about this, or a new way of doing this, then please help me
function handleDrag() {
let target = new THREE.Vector3();
raycaster.setFromCamera(mouseNDC, camera);
raycaster.ray.intersectPlane(Zplane, target);
let temp = target
target.sub(mesh.position); // final vector after drag
initial.sub(mesh.position); // initial vector
// get rotation direction using cross product
let xx = new THREE.Vector3().copy(target).normalize()
let yy = new THREE.Vector3().copy(prevDir).normalize()
let dir = yy.cross(xx).z
const angleBtwVec = angleInPlane(initial, target, Zplane.normal);
let quaternion = new THREE.Quaternion();
quaternion.setFromAxisAngle(new THREE.Vector3(0, 1, 0), angleBtwVec);
let effectiveQuatChange = new THREE.Quaternion().copy(initialCubeQuat)
effectiveQuatChange.multiply(quaternion)
// find next quaterion for which we need to compare for snapping
let check = next
if (dir > 0) { // then anti-clock
check = (next + 1) % 8
} else { // else rotation is in clock direction
check = (next - 1 + 8) % 8
}
// apply quaternion change
mesh.quaternion.copy(effectiveQuatChange)
let reqQuatArray = quaternionArrayYR
let angleDiff = toDegrees(mesh.quaternion.angleTo(reqQuatArray[check]))
console.log(angleDiff, check);
if (angleDiff <= 15) { // if mesh angle with next req quaternion is less than 15 degree, then set mesh quaternion to required quaternion
next = check
mesh.quaternion.copy(reqQuatArray[next]);
initialCubeQuat.copy(reqQuatArray[next]);
initial = temp;
}
prevDir = temp
}
