I have a PartialFunction[String,String]
and a Map[String,String]
.
I want to apply the partial functions on the map values and collect the entries for which it was applicaple.
i.e. given:
val m = Map( "a"->"1", "b"->"2" )
val pf : PartialFunction[String,String] = {
case "1" => "11"
}
I'd like to somehow combine _._2
with pf
and be able to do this:
val composedPf : PartialFunction[(String,String),(String,String)] = /*someMagicalOperator(_._2,pf)*/
val collected : Map[String,String] = m.collect( composedPf )
// collected should be Map( "a"->"11" )
so far the best I got was this:
val composedPf = new PartialFunction[(String,String),(String,String)]{
override def isDefinedAt(x: (String, String)): Boolean = pf.isDefinedAt(x._2)
override def apply(v1: (String, String)): (String,String) = v1._1 -> pf(v1._2)
}
is there a better way?
Here is the magical operator:
val composedPf: PartialFunction[(String, String), (String, String)] =
{case (k, v) if pf.isDefinedAt(v) => (k, pf(v))}
Another option, without creating a composed function, is this:
m.filter(e => pf.isDefinedAt(e._2)).mapValues(pf)
