Package org.silverpeas.kernel.util

Class Mutable<T>

java.lang.Object
org.silverpeas.kernel.util.Mutable<T>
public final class Mutable<T> extends Object

A mutable value wrapper which may or may not contain a non-null value. If a value is present, isPresent() will return true and get() will return the value.

Additional methods that depend on the presence or absence of a contained value are provided, such as orElse() (return a default value if value not present) and ifPresent() (execute a block of code if the value is present).

      If a value is present, invoke the specified consumer with the value, otherwise do nothing.
      Parameters:
      consumer - block to be executed if a value is present
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if value is present and consumer is null

    • filter

      public Mutable<T> filter(Predicate<? super T> predicate)
      If a value is present, and the value matches the given predicate, return an Mutable describing the value, otherwise return an empty Mutable.
      Parameters:
      predicate - a predicate to apply to the value, if present
      Returns:
      an Mutable describing the value of this Mutable if a value is present and the value matches the given predicate, otherwise an empty Mutable
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the predicate is null

    • map

      public <U> Mutable<U> map(Function<? super T,? extends U> mapper)
      If a value is present, apply the provided mapping function to it, and if the result is non-null, return an Mutable describing the result. Otherwise return an empty Mutable.
      Type Parameters:
      U - The type of the result of the mapping function
      Parameters:
      mapper - a mapping function to apply to the value, if present
      Returns:
      an Mutable describing the result of applying a mapping function to the value of this Mutable, if a value is present, otherwise an empty Mutable
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the mapping function is null
      API Note:
      This method supports post-processing on mutable values, without the need to explicitly check for a return status. For example, the following code traverses a stream of file names, selects one that has not yet been processed, and then opens that file, returning an Mutable<FileInputStream>: 
      
     Mutable<FileInputStream> fis =
         names.stream().filter(name -> !isProcessedYet(name))
                       .findFirst()
                       .map(name -> new FileInputStream(name));

      Here, findFirst returns an Mutable<String>, and then map returns an Mutable<FileInputStream> for the desired file if one exists.

    • flatMap

      public <U> Mutable<U> flatMap(Function<? super T,Mutable<U>> mapper)
      If a value is present, apply the provided Mutable-bearing mapping function to it, return that result, otherwise return an empty Mutable. This method is similar to map(Function), but the provided mapper is one whose result is already an Mutable, and if invoked, flatMap does not wrap it with an additional Mutable.
      Type Parameters:
      U - The type parameter to the Mutable returned by
      Parameters:
      mapper - a mapping function to apply to the value, if present the mapping function
      Returns:
      the result of applying an Mutable-bearing mapping function to the value of this Mutable, if a value is present, otherwise an empty Mutable
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the mapping function is null or returns a null result

    • orElse

      public T orElse(T other)
      Return the value if present, otherwise return other.
      Parameters:
      other - the value to be returned if there is no value present, may be null
      Returns:
      the value, if present, otherwise other

    • orElseGet

      public T orElseGet(Supplier<? extends T> other)
      Return the value if present, otherwise invoke other and return the result of that invocation.
      Parameters:
      other - a Supplier whose result is returned if no value is present
      Returns:
      the value if present otherwise the result of other.get()
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if value is not present and other is null

    • orElseThrow

      public <X extends Throwable> T orElseThrow(Supplier<? extends X> exceptionSupplier) throws X
      Return the contained value, if present, otherwise throw an exception to be created by the provided supplier.
      Type Parameters:
      X - Type of the exception to be thrown
      Parameters:
      exceptionSupplier - The supplier which will return the exception to be thrown
      Returns:
      the present value
      Throws:
      X - if there is no value present
      NullPointerException - if no value is present and exceptionSupplier is null
      API Note:
      A method reference to the exception constructor with an empty argument list can be used as the supplier. For example, InvalidStateException::new

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this Mutable. The other object is considered equal if:
      • it is also an Mutable and;
      • both instances have no value present or;
      • the present values are "equal to" each other via equals().
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - an object to be tested for equality
      Returns:
      {code true} if the other object is "equal to" this object otherwise false

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns the hash code value of the present value, if any, or 0 (zero) if no value is present.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      hash code value of the present value or 0 if no value is present

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns a non-empty string representation of this Mutable suitable for debugging. The exact presentation format is unspecified and may vary between implementations and versions.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      the string representation of this instance
      Implementation Requirements:
      If a value is present the result must include its string representation in the result. Empty and present Mutables must be unambiguously differentiable.
