Method Summary

static <S,T extends S> Function<T,S>	coerceToSuper() Transform to a super class.
static <T,R extends T> Function<T,R>	downcast(Class<R> subclass) Get a function that always the input downcast to the supplied class.
static <T,R> Function<T,R>	memoize(Function<T,R> function, ConcurrentMap<T,R> map) Memoizer maps an input to an output and always returns the mapped result rather than calling the wrapped function every time.
static <T,R> com.google.common.base.Function<T,R>	toGoogleFunction(Function<T,R> function) Map to a google-collections Function.

Method Detail

memoize

public static <T,R> Function<T,R> memoize(Function<T,R> function,
                                          ConcurrentMap<T,R> map)

Memoizer maps an input to an output and always returns the mapped result rather than calling the wrapped function every time. Useful when the wrapped function is expensive to call.

Note, once mapped the input and the result can only be externally removed. Also, if the supplied function returns nulls then no memoization will occur.

Type Parameters:

T - the input type. MUST be immutable.

R - the result type.

Parameters:

function - for supplying the initial value that gets mapped

map - for storing the key-value mappings

Returns:

a memoizing function.

downcast

public static <T,R extends T> Function<T,R> downcast(Class<R> subclass)

Get a function that always the input downcast to the supplied class.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the input and the output for the function.

Parameters:

subclass - subclass to downcast

Returns:

the identity function.

coerceToSuper

public static <S,T extends S> Function<T,S> coerceToSuper()

Transform to a super class. Usually needs to be called with explicit type parameters, eg: Functions.<SuperClass, SubClass> coerceToSuper();

Type Parameters:

S - the super class.

T - the sub class.

toGoogleFunction

public static <T,R> com.google.common.base.Function<T,R> toGoogleFunction(Function<T,R> function)

Map to a google-collections Function.

Type Parameters:

T - input type

R - output type

Parameters:

function - the function to map

Returns:

the mapped function.
