Consider the below code snippet:
In this, I am trying to get values from future using 'For - yield' comprehension. Now in yield method, I need to do a check which makes the call to a function fallbackResult which returns a future and hence return type of getData becomes 'Future[Future[Option[Int]]]' rather than 'Future[Option[Int]]'. How could I make this with a better way? (I did use Map & FlatMap's, but the code little ugly due to nesting Maps and FlatMaps)
def getData(): Future[Future[Option[Int]]] = {
/* These are two future vectors. Ignore the Objects */
val substanceTableF: Future[Vector[OverviewPageTableRowModel]] = getSubstanceTable(substanceIds, propertyId, dataRange)
val mixtureTableF: Future[Vector[OverviewPageTableRowModel]] = getMixtureTableForSubstanceCombination(substanceIds, propertyId, dataRange)
/* I have put for yeild to get values from futures.*/
for {
substanceTable <- substanceTableF
mixtureTable <- mixtureTableF
} yield {
if(substanceTable.isEmpty && mixtureTable.isEmpty) {
val resultF = fallbackResult()
resultF.map(result => {Some(result)})
} else {
Future.successful(Some(100))
}
}
}
private def fallbackResult(): Future[Int] = {
// This method returns future of int
}
Id put the code inside the for-coprehension:
for {
substanceTable <- substanceTableF
mixtureTable <- mixtureTableF
result <- {
if (substanceTable.isEmpty && mixtureTable.isEmpty)
fallbackResult()
else
Future.successful(Some(100))
}
} yield result
