Groovy not in collection

Question

The groovy way to see if something is in a list is to use \"in\"

   if(\'b\' in [\'a\',\'b\',\'c\'])

However how do you nicely see if something

Answer 1

You can add new functions:

Object.metaClass.notIn = { Object collection ->
    !(delegate in collection)
}


assert "2".notIn(['1', '2q', '3'])
assert !"2".notIn(['1', '2', '3'])

assert 2.notIn([1, 3])
assert !2.notIn([1, 2, 3])

assert 2.notIn([1: 'a', 3: 'b'])
assert !2.notIn([1: 'a', 2: 'b'])
