is there a more elegant way to code this builder?

Question

Here is my snippet:

WebClient webClient;
    if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
        webClient = WebClient.builder() //
                .baseUrl(eprBaseUrl) //
                .codecs(codecConfigurer -> {
                    codecConfigurer.defaultCodecs().jackson2JsonEncoder(loggingEncoder);
                }) //
                .build();
    } else {
        webClient = WebClient.builder() //
                .baseUrl(eprBaseUrl) //
                .build();
    }

Is there a better/more efficient way to write this block without condition block (if/else)?

Answer 1

You can extract the relevant part like this:

WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder = WebClient.builder().baseUrl(eprBaseUrl);
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
  webClientBuilder.codecs(codecConfigurer -> {
     codecConfigurer.defaultCodecs().jackson2JsonEncoder(loggingEncoder);
  });
}
WebClient webClient = webClientBuilder.build();
