Changes

8.1.0

Additions

Introduced Collecting façade to support additional collectors.

• Collecting.flat can be used to flat a Stream of Iterables, as an example:

Stream.of(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3), Arrays.asList(4, 5)).collect(Collecting.flat()); // yields [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

• Collecting.reverse useful to invert the order of a finite stream.

Stream.of(1, 2, 3).collect(Collecting.reverse()); // yields [3, 2, 1]

Introduced Strategies façade with the following methods (:warning: still to test!):

• Function<T, R> firstMatch(Clause<T, R>... clauses) to apply the first clause matching a condition
• Function<T, Optional<R>> maybeFirstMatch(Clause<T, R>... clauses) to apply optionally the first clause matching a condition
• Function<T, List<R>> allMatches(Clause<T, R>... clauses) to apply all clauses matching a condition
• also for binary functions

Added methods to Maps class to transform all keys and/or all values of the passed map, given a mapper function:

• Map<W, V> mapKeys(Map<K, V> input, Function<K, W> keysMapper) to transform all keys of the passed map applying the passed mapper function
• Map<W, V> mapKeys(Map<K, V> input, Function<K, W> keysMapper, BinaryOperator<V> valueMerger) to transform all keys of the passed map applying the passed mapper function. If the key is already present into the map, the passed value merger is applied to the value
• Map<K, W> mapValues(Map<K, V> input, Function<V, W> valuesMapper) to transform all values of the passed map applying the passed mapper function
• Map<KK, VV> mapKeysAndValues(Map<K, V> input, Function<K, KK> keysMapper, Function<V, VV> valuesMapper) to transform all keys and all values of the passed map applying the passed mapper functions
• Map<KK, VV> mapKeysAndValues(Map<K, V> input, Function<K, KK> keysMapper, Function<V, VV> valuesMapper, BinaryOperator<VV> valueMerger) to transform all keys and all values of the passed map applying the passed mapper functions. If the key is already present into the map, the passed value merger is applied to the value

Refactors

Some better names:

• renamed Multiplexing.batch in unchain (BatchingIterator -> UnchainIterator)
• renamed Multiplexing.unchain in unchainShortest (UnchainIterator -> UnchainShortestIterator)
• renamed Multiplexing.unchainWithExactChannelSize in unchainLongest (UnchainWithExactChannelSizeIterator -> UnchainLongestIterator)

Multiplexing.flatten and chain accepts varargs.

8.0

Additions

Introduced the Sequences façade, in order to simplify the usage of sequential streams. A Sequence has the following additional methods:

• Consumers: toList, toSet, toMap, first, maybeFirst, one, maybeOne, last, maybeLast, nth, maybeNth, at, maybeAt
• Filtering: take, takeLast, takeAtMostLast, takeWhile, drop, dropWhile, slice, distinctBy
• Multiplexing: chain
• Applications: tap

Added the following new methods:

• Optional<LT> Either::left() method to get the left part of the Either
• Function<Either<LT, RT>, Either<LR, RR>> Eithers::lift(Function<LT, LR> left, Function<RT, RR> right) to lift functions working on the components of an Either into a single function working on either
• Function<Box<T>, Box<R>> Boxes::lift(Function<T, R> function) to lift a function to another working on box values
• Maybe<T> Maybes::toMaybe(Optional<T> optional) to convert an Optional to a Maybe
• Pair<T2, T1> Pair::flip()
• Triple<T3, T2, T1> Triple::flip()
• Triple<T2, T3, T1> Triple::rotateLeft()
• Triple<T3, T1, T2> Triple::rotateRight()

Refactors

Replaced functional interfaces with built-in ones in package java.util.function:

• Delegate -> Function
• BinaryDelegate -> BiFunction
• Provider -> Supplier
• Predicate -> Predicate
• BinaryPredicate -> BiPredicate
• Action -> Consumer
• BinaryAction -> BiConsumer
• Proposition -> BooleanSupplier

Used java.util.Optional instead of Maybe.

Uniformed named with standard library:

• Maybe.fmap -> Maybe.map
• Maybe.value -> Maybe.get
• Maybe.hasValue -> Maybe.isPresent
• Box.fmap -> Box.map
• Box.hasContent -> Box.isPresent
• Either.fmap -> Either.map
• Either.maybe -> Either.right
• Pair.fmap -> Pair.map
• Triple.fmap -> Triple.map
• TernaryDelegate -> TriFunction
• TernaryPredicate -> TriPredicate

Removed useless functors:

• Identity -> use Function.identity() or x -> x
• DropMaybe -> use Maybes::drop
• EitherToMaybe -> use Eithers::right
• PureMaybe -> use Optional::of
• LiftMaybe -> use Optional::ofNullable
• PureEither -> use Either::right
• PureBox -> use Box::of
• MaybeRight -> use Eithers::right
• MaybeOrElse -> use lambda
• MaybeLeft -> use Either::left
• MaybeIteratorTransformer -> use MaybeIterator::new
• IsNothing -> use Maybes::isEmpty
• IsJust -> use Optional::isPresent
• FromJust -> use Optional::get
• FmapMaybe -> invoke Maybes.lift
• FMapBox -> invoke Boxes.lift
• FlipEither -> use Either::flip
• FlipPair -> use Pair::flip
• FlipTriple -> use Triple::flip
• PairFirst -> use Pair::first
• PairSecond -> use Pair::second
• TripleFirst -> use Triple::first
• TripleSecond -> use Triple::second
• TripleThird -> use Triple::third
• TripleRotateLeft -> use Triple::rotateLeft
• TripleRotateRight -> use Triple::rotateRight
• Max -> use BinaryOperator.maxBy
• Min -> use BinaryOperator.minBy
• Negator -> invoke predicate.negate()
• Equals -> invoke Predicate.isEqual()
• NotEquals -> invoke Predicate.isEqual().negate()
• HasNext -> use Iterator::hasNext
• IteratorPlucker -> use Iterable::iterator
• ClassPlucker -> use Object::getClass
