What would be the correct way to implement this functional logic with streams?
Stream through list of items
Check if condition 1 passes, if so apply function 1 to the item.
Check if condition 2 passes, if so apply function 2 to the item.
If both conditions do not pass, do nothing.
collect results
Do I create predicates with suppliers or how does this look? I'm not very familiar with functional Java.
You're probably best off with a simple for loop, but you could do:
List<Item> list;
list.stream()
.forEach(item -> {
boolean condition1 = predicate1.test(item);
boolean condition2 = predicate2.test(item);
if(condition1 && !condition2) {
applyFunction1(item);
} else if(!condition1 && condition2) {
applyfunction2(item);
}
});
This operates directly on the underlying list. Use map
if you want to collect to a different collection (but obviously it depends on the modifying function implementation whether it contains clones or the original, now also modified, objects):
List<Item> list;
List<Item> modifiedList = list.stream()
.map(item -> {
if(condition1 && !condition2) {
return function1.apply(item);
} else if(!condition1 && condition2) {
return function2.apply(item);
}
return item;
})
.toList();
If you do not care about the final ordering of items, here's another approach, which you can see gets silly...:
List<Item> list;
Predicate<Item> predicate1;
Predicate<Item> predicate2;
Function<Item, Item> function1;
Function<Item, Item> function2;
Stream<Item> modifiedBy1 = list.stream()
.filter(predicate1.and(predicate2.negate()))
.map(function1);
Stream<Item> modifiedBy2 = list.stream()
.filter(predicate1.negate().and(predicate2))
.map(function1);
Stream<Item> unmodified = list.stream()
.filter(predicate1.negate().and(predicate2.negate()));
Stream<Item> recombined = Stream
.of(modifiedBy1, modifiedBy2, unmodified) //a Stream of Streams
//you can influence the order of elements by swapping these around
//the result is essentially sorted by which conditions where matched
.flatMap(Function.identity()); //flatten the streams back to their constituent objects
//could also have used 2x Stream.concat here
