See the following code:
def createOption[T: TypeTag](referentialData: Any) : Option[T] = {
Option(referentialData) match {
case Some(camelMessage: CamelMessage) => {
Option(camelMessage.body) match {
case Some(option: T) => Some(option)
case _ => None
}
}
case _ => None
}
}
Basically I am looking to return an Option[T]
if camelMessage.body
is non-null and of type T. The uses of Option(referentialData)
is effectively referentialData != null
Likewise for Option(camelMessage.body)
How do I use the TypeTag to determine if camelMessage.body
is of type T.
(I know this can be re-written to not use TypeTags and Options but I want to learn how to use TypeTags so please no suggestions to re-write, thanks!)
Edit
I tried a new approach as could not find a solution for the above, but could not get this one to work either:
def createOption[T](referentialData: Any) : Option[T] = {
Option(referentialData) match {
case Some(option) => Try(option.asInstanceOf[T]).toOption
case _ => None
}
}
When I invoke this using createOption[Long]("test")
I was presuming to get a None
back, but instead I got a Some(String)
Where am I going wrong here?
This is a duplicate of this one .
But you want to try it with ClassTag
to show the limitation:
scala> def f[A: ClassTag](x: Any): Option[A] = x match {
| case y: A => println("OK"); Some(y) ; case _ => println("Nope"); None }
f: [A](x: Any)(implicit evidence$1: scala.reflect.ClassTag[A])Option[A]
scala> f[String]("foo")
OK
res0: Option[String] = Some(foo)
scala> f[Long](2L)
Nope
res1: Option[Long] = None
scala> f[java.lang.Long](new java.lang.Long(2L))
OK
res2: Option[Long] = Some(2)
scala> def f[A: TypeTag](x: Any): Option[A] = Option(x) match {
| case Some(y: A) => println("OK"); Some(y) ; case _ => println("Nope"); None }
<console>:51: warning: abstract type pattern A is unchecked since it is eliminated by erasure
case Some(y: A) => println("OK"); Some(y) ; case _ => println("Nope"); None }
^
f: [A](x: Any)(implicit evidence$1: reflect.runtime.universe.TypeTag[A])Option[A]
