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

A standard way doesn't exist, but this should do the trick:

Function adapt(final Consumer consumer) {
    return t -> {
        consumer.accept(t);
        return null;
    };
}

This is following the Adapter Pattern mentioned in the accepted answer from @rgettman.
