I wrote code that works, however I had to create extra lines, is there a way to compress that in one line? The logic: take last page, perform searching function by regex, if not located, take the page before and perform searching function by regex
Optional<String> totalBoxesLastPage = lastPage.locate(INVOICE_TOTAL_AMOUNT_BOXES);
Optional<String> totalBoxes = totalBoxesLastPage.isPresent() ?
totalBoxesLastPage : nextToLastPage
.flatMap(p -> p.locate(INVOICE_TOTAL_AMOUNT_BOXES));
Thank you guys
You may use orElseGet
with a supplier to call some function which computes the value if the optional is empty. If a value is present, it returns the value, otherwise returns the result produced by the supplying function. In your case you have to pass Supplier<String>
. Moreover, your return type after unwrapping the Optional
should be a String
, not an Optional<String>
.
String totalBoxes = totalBoxesLastPage
.orElseGet(() -> nextToLastPage.flatMap(p -> p.locate(INVOICE_TOTAL_AMOUNT_BOXES))
.orElseThrow(IllegalStateException::new));
