java8-utils

The package provides helper methods for interacting with, e.g., the stream features of Java 8 and above.

Stream helpers

Transforming to streams:

NStreams.asStream(Optional<T>)
NStreams.asStream(Iterable<T>)
NStreams.asStream(Iterator<T>)

Concatenating multiple streams:

NStreams.concat(Stream...)

Collectors

Collecting elements of streams:

Map<Integer,Long> map = Stream.of(1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 6)
    .collect(NCollectors.countingOccurrences());
// {1=3, 3=2, 6=1}

Predicates

Common predicates include, e.g.

NPredicates.is(T)               // compare using ==
NPredicates.equalTo(T)          // compare using #equals
NPredicates.not(Predicate<T>)   // invert result of predicate
...
NPredicates.having(Function<T, S>, Predicate<S>) // for matching, e.g., properties in a stream

Example of having predicate usage:

Stream.of("foo", "foobar", "barbar", "qux")
    .filter(s -> s.startsWith("f"))
    .filter(havingEqual(String::length, 3))
    .collect(toList()); // -> List("foo")

Includes predicates for collections, strings, and comparables:

NCollectionPredicates:
  .empty() / .notEmpty()
  .contains(T) / .containsAll(T...) / .containsAny(T...)
  .doesNotContain()T / .doesNotContainsAllOf(T...) / .doesNotContainAnyOf(T...)

Not forgetting the optionals:

NOptionalPredicates
  .empty() / .present()
  .havingValue(T) / .havingValue(Predicate<T>)
  .notHavingValue(T) / .notHavingValue(Predicate<T>)

Set helpers

Helpers for creating sets:

Set<V> set = NSets.asSet(Iterable<V>)
Set<V> set = NSets.asSet(Iterator<V>)
Set<V> set = NSets.asSet(V...)

Map helpers

Helpers for creating map entries:

Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry = NMappers.entryOf("a", 1);

Helpers for creating simple maps:

NMaps.mapOfEntries(entryOf("a", 1), entryOf("c", 2), ...);
NMaps.mapOf("a", 1, "c", 2, ...); // Up to ten entries
NMaps.mapping(asList("a", "bee", "cheetah"), s -> s.length()); // Map from keys to values by function
NMaps.mapOfLists(asList("a", "b", "c"), asList(1, 2, 3));
NMaps.combine(mapOf("a", 1), mapOf("b", 2, "c", 3));

Map entries as streams

A stream of Map.Entry<K, V> can be collected to a map by NCollectors.entriesToMap():

Stream<Entry<String, Integer>> stream = ...;
Map<String, Integer> map = stream.collect(NCollectors.entriesToMap());

Combining entries on duplicate keys:

Stream<Entry<String, Integer>> stream = ...;
Map<String, Integer> stream.collect(NCollectors.entriesToMap((a, b) -> a+b);

Consuming and mapping streams of entries

Entries can be consumed and manipulated in a multitude of ways:

// Just to show consumingEntry
NMaps.mapOf("a", 1, "b", 2)
    .entrySet()
    .forEach(consumingEntry((key, val) -> System.out.printf("%s -> %d%n", key, val)));

Further ways to manipulate entries in a stream:

Map<String, Integer> map = NMaps.mapOf("a", 1, "b", 2, "c", 3);
final Map<String, Integer> mapped = map.entrySet().stream()
        .map(NMappers.mappingKey((k, v) -> k + v))
        .map(NMappers.mappingValue((k, v) -> v * v))
        .collect(NCollectors.entriesToMap());
// Mapped now contains { "a1"=1; "b2"=4; "c3"=9 }

Map extractors

Helper methods for consuming maps:

Stream<T> keyStream = NExtractors.doWithKeys(Map<K, ?> map, Function<K, T> fn);
Stream<T> valueStream = NExtractors.doWithValues(Map<?, V> map, Function<V, T> fn);

Keys and values to sets or lists:

NExtractors.extractKeysToSet(Map<F, ?> map, Function<F, T> fn)
NExtractors.extractKeysToList(Map<F, ?> map, Function<F, T> fn)

NExtractors.extractValuesToSet(Map<?, F> map, Function<F, T> fn)
NExtractors.extractValuesToList(Map<?, F> map, Function<F, T> fn)
