Method Detail

singleOrEmpty

public static <T> Collector<T,?,Optional<T>> singleOrEmpty()

Collector which traverses a stream and returns either a single element (if there was only one element) or empty (if there were 0 or more than 1 elements). It traverses the entire stream, even if two elements have been encountered and the empty return value is now certain.

Implementation credit to Misha on StackOverflow.

singleOrEmptyShortCircuiting

public static <T> Optional<T> singleOrEmptyShortCircuiting(Stream<T> stream)

Same behavior as singleOrEmpty(), except that it returns early if it is possible to do so. Unfortunately, it is not possible to implement early-return behavior using the Collector interface, so MoreCollectors takes the stream as an argument.

Implementation credit to Thomas Jungblut on StackOverflow.

codePointsToString

public static String codePointsToString(IntStream codePoints)

Converts a stream of unicode code points into a String.

String spacesRemoved = MoreCollectors.codePointsToString("a b c".codePoints().filter(c -> c != ' '));
Assert.assertEquals("abc", spacesRemoved);;
