Package com.broadleafcommerce.rulesengine.expression.util

Class CollectionsExpressionVariable

java.lang.Object

com.broadleafcommerce.rulesengine.expression.util.CollectionsExpressionVariable

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExpressionVariable

public class CollectionsExpressionVariable
extends Object
implements ExpressionVariable

Common, null-safe, collection operations

An instance of this class will usually be accessible as a variable within an expression via #collections. This is partly a wrapper around CollectionUtils to provide a layer of abstraction and because CollectionUtils employs static methods. Note that not all methods of CollectionUtils have been implemented just those that seemed most relevant for expression evaluation.

Method Details

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface ExpressionVariable

Returns:

Name of the variable, must not be null

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty(@Nullable
 Collection<?> collection)

Whether the collection is empty or null.

equals

public boolean equals(@Nullable
 Collection<?> coll2,
 @Nullable
 Collection<?> coll1)

Performs a deep equals on the 2 collections.

contains

public <T> boolean contains(@Nullable
 T value,
 @Nullable
 Collection<T> collection)

Whether the value is found within the collection using Collection.contains(Object). This method is dynamic and will work slightly differently when given an array or a collection to validate against. In that scenario, the contents of value are traversed to see if all of the elements are contained within collection. If value is null, then the collection must contain a null value

Parameters:

value - what to check for, which can also be an array or collection

collection - collection to check

Returns:

whether or not everything defined by value is contained within collection

notContains

public <T> boolean notContains(@Nullable
 T value,
 @Nullable
 Collection<T> collection)

Whether the value is not contained by the collection.

notContains

public <T> boolean notContains(@Nullable
 Collection<T> value,
 @Nullable
 Collection<T> collection)

Whether the collection defined by value is not contained by the collection.

notContains

public <T> boolean notContains(@Nullable
 T[] value,
 @Nullable
 Collection<T> collection)

Whether the array defined by value is not contained by the collection.

containsAny

public boolean containsAny(@Nullable
 Collection<?> coll2,
 @Nullable
 Collection<?> coll1)

Whether the second collection contains any elements from the first. If either is null, returns false.

containsAll

public boolean containsAll(@Nullable
 Collection<?> coll2,
 @Nullable
 Collection<?> coll1)

Whether the second collection contains all of the elements from the first. If both are empty or null, returns true

containsNone

public boolean containsNone(@Nullable
 Collection<?> coll2,
 @Nullable
 Collection<?> coll1)

Whether the second collections contains none of the elements form the first. If either is null, returns true.
