'Optional.get()' without 'isPresent()' check

I have the following search code in Java:

return getTableViewController().getMe().getColumns().stream()
    .filter($ -> Database.equalsColumnName($.getId(), columnId))
    .findFirst()
    .get();

I was wishing to find column by name and return first one found.

I understand there is a case when nothing found and it should be processed, but how?

Is this what it wants by this swearing:

'Optional.get()' without 'isPresent()' check

?

How to fix? I wish to return null if nothing found.

UPDATE

Okay, okay, I just didn't realize, that findFirst() returns Optional.

Solution

  • Replace get() with orElse(null).
