You may need to convert a Stream
emitting Optional
to a Stream
of values, emitting only values from existing Optional
. (ie: without null
value and not dealing with Optional.empty()
).
Optional<String> op1 = Optional.empty();
Optional<String> op2 = Optional.of("Hello World");
List<String> result = Stream.of(op1, op2)
.filter(Optional::isPresent)
.map(Optional::get)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(result); //[Hello World]
