As alternative to other fine usage of Optional, we could also use a utility method with a Supplier var-args as parameter.
It makes sense as we don't have many nested levels in the object to check but many fields to check.
Besides, it may easily be modified to log/handle something as a null is detected.
boolean isValid = isValid(() -> address, // first level
() -> address.getCity(), // second level
() -> address.getCountry(),// second level
() -> address.getStreet(), // second level
() -> address.getZip(), // second level
() -> address.getCountry() // third level
.getISO()
@SafeVarargs
public static boolean isValid(Supplier
Suppose you would like to add some traces, you could so write :
boolean isValid = isValid( Arrays.asList("address", "city", "country",
"street", "zip", "Country ISO"),
() -> address, // first level
() -> address.getCity(), // second level
() -> address.getCountry(),// second level
() -> address.getStreet(), // second level
() -> address.getZip(), // second level
() -> address.getCountry() // third level
.getISO()
);
@SafeVarargs
public static boolean isValid(List fieldNames, Supplier... suppliers) {
if (fieldNames.size() != suppliers.length){
throw new IllegalArgumentException("...");
}
for (int i = 0; i < suppliers.length; i++) {
if (Objects.isNull(suppliers.get(i).get())) {
LOGGER.info( fieldNames.get(i) + " is null");
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
