How to convert Iterator to scalaz stream?


Suppose I've got an Iterator[A]. I would like to convert it to Process[Nothing, A] of scalaz stream.

import scalaz.stream._

def foo[A](it: Iterator[A]): Process[Nothing, A] = ???

How would you implement foo ?


Solution

  • I think that you can do it using unfold:

    import scalaz.stream._
    
    def foo[A](it: Iterator[A]): Process[Nothing, A] = Process.unfold(it) { it =>
      if (it.hasNext) Some((it.next, it))
      else None
    }
    

    Example:

    scala> foo(List(1,2,3,4,5).iterator).toList
    res0: List[Int] = List(1,2,3,4,5)
