Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-10223: -------------------------------------- Added {{getAt(int)}} so you can do this instead of {{opt*.length()?[0]}} or {{opt.orElse(null)?.length()}} or {{opt.map(String::length).orElse(null)}}: {code:groovy} def opt = Optional.of("foo") def len = opt[0]?.length() assert len == 3 {code} https://github.com/apache/groovy/commit/a0de382914b3c6a1e777c4607e8b7edd1e70608e > Add support for Optional to DefaultTypeTransformation.asCollection() > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-10223 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10223 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: groovy-jdk > Reporter: Stephen Smith > Assignee: Eric Milles > Priority: Trivial > Labels: features > > The JDK recently added support for *Optional::stream()* which returns a > stream containing either the unwrapped value or an empty stream if the > *Optional* is empty. > In the groovy-jdk, using iteration however will call > {noformat} > DefaultTypeTransformation.asCollection(){noformat} > which does not specifically check for type *Optional*, instead it will just > wrap the *Optional* itself in a *List* rather than the unwrapped value as the > default behavior. > Adding an _if else_ clause will allow using the Optional as either a single > or empty list. > {code:java} > if (value instanceOf Optional) { > return ((Optional)value).map(List::of).orElse(List.of()) > }{code} > Alternatively, add an *asList()* to the Optional class. > (edit: 2021-09-13, missing bracket in code example) > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007)
