Mitth'raw'nuruodo updated LANG-1345:
------------------------------------
Description:
As a corollary to {{defaultString}} and similar methods, which allow the client
to replace a missing string with something, it would sometimes be helpful to
have methods that enhance a string, if it is present, with a prefix and suffix
(or perhaps with an arbitrary function).
Eg
{code}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(queryString)) {
return url + "?" + queryString;
} else {
return url;
}
{code}
would become:
{code}
return url + StringUtils.addIfNotEmpty(queryString, "?", null);
{code}
with the second parameter being the prefix, and the third, the suffix. If the
string is null or empty, return empty string.
If this could accept arbitrary transformation functions, it could effectively
become the Elvis operator.
