Is there a standard way to convert a java.util.function,Consumer into a java.util.function.Function

Question

I have a Consumer that I\'d like to convert into a Function.

I could achieve that by using

public 

        

Answer 1

It looks like you need to adapt a Consumer to a Function. You have created a good example of the Adapter Pattern.

[T]he adapter pattern is a software design pattern that allows the interface of an existing class to be used from another interface.

You are letting a Consumer be used from a Function.

I know of no JDK built-in converter between functional interfaces, but this appears to be a good way of applying a standard pattern to solve your problem.
