AssertJ: Best way for matching collection of objects against to the collection of conditions/assertions

Question

I am looking for a convenient way of matching list of objects to list of conditions or assertions in a way that all records could be in any order, but all of them should match to all specified conditions. Specific object to specific condition.

Example:

I have list of objects, that could be fetched in arbitrary order. Let's say of the following type:

class Person {
    String name;
    Integer age;
}

Person A is Bobby, 34y
Person B is John, 15y 

And I have list of conditions that I expect to match.

Condition personA = new Condition<>(p -> p.name.equals("Bobby"), "Person A");
Condition personB = new Condition<>(p -> p.name.equals("john"), "Person B");

And now I would like to have some operator that will take a list of persons, and match each person to list of conditions. One of condition should pass, otherwise - assertion fail. Order of persons and conditions could be arbitrary.

Is there exists any way how to do this without adding custom implementation?

P.S> I am aware of extracting() method, but think it is not that convenient for comparing complex objects.

You can test that at least one of the conditions personA and personB is met for each one of the elements in the List <Person> personList as follows:

assertThat( personList ).are( anyOf( personA, personB ) );

See the AssertJ documentation.
