I have a List. I need get a List from a property of Person.
For example, I have a Person class:
class Person
{
private String name;
private String birthDate;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public String getBirthDate() {
return birthDate;
}
Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
List personList = new ArrayList<>();
personList.add(new Person("David"));
personList.add(new Person("Joe"));
personList.add(new Person("Michel"));
personList.add(new Person("Barak"));
I want to get list of names with Stream API like this:
List names = personList.stream().somecode().collect(Collectors.toList());
names.stream().forEach(System.out::println);
#David
#Joe
#Michel
#Barak
This code doesn't work:
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
List personList = new ArrayList<>();
Person person = new Person("Иван");
person.getFriends().addAll(Arrays.asList("Друг 1", "Друг 2", "Друг 3"));
personList.add(person);
person = new Person("Федор");
person.getFriends().addAll(Arrays.asList("Друг 4", "Друг 5", "Друг 6"));
personList.add(person);
person = new Person("Алексей");
person.getFriends().addAll(Arrays.asList("Друг 7", "Друг 8", "Друг 9"));
personList.add(person);
person = new Person("Константин");
person.getFriends().addAll(Arrays.asList("Друг 10", "Друг 11", "Друг 12"));
List friens = personList.stream().map(e->e.getFriends()).collect(Collectors.toList());
friends.stream().forEach(System.out::println);
//Друг 1
//Друг 2
//Друг 3
//Друг 4
//...
}
}
class Person
{
String name;
List friends;
Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public List getFriends() {
return friends;
}
}
How can I get a List of a property with Stream API?
解决方案
That's basic, you use map :
List names =
personList.stream()
.map(Person::getName)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
EDIT :
In order to combine the Lists of friend names, you need to use flatMap :
List friendNames =
personList.stream()
.flatMap(e->e.getFriends().stream())
.collect(Collectors.toList());
