Overview
Motif is a library for doing Scala-like pattern matching in Java. It uses a fluent API for building matching patterns with corresponding match expressions.
Motif comes with many built-in matching types:
- java.util.Optional
- java.util.List
- Primitives
- Case classes
- Tuples
- Hamcrest matchers
Examples
FizzBuzz
IntStream.range(0, 101).forEach(
n -> System.out.println(
match(Tuple2.of(n % 3, n % 5))
.when(tuple2(eq(0), eq(0))).get(() -> "FizzBuzz")
.when(tuple2(eq(0), any())).get(y -> "Fizz")
.when(tuple2(any(), eq(0))).get(x -> "Buzz")
.orElse(String.valueOf(n))
.getMatch()
)
);
Optional
Optional<Person> personOpt = getPerson();
match(personOpt)
.when(some(any())).then(person -> doStuff(person))
.when(none()).then(() -> System.out.println("Person not found"))
.doMatch();
Factorial
public long factorial(long i) {
return match(i)
.when(eq(0)).get(() -> 1l)
.when(any()).get(x -> x * factorial(x - 1))
.getMatch();
}
Nested Matching
Optional<Tuple2<String, String>> opt = Optional.of(Tuple2.of("first", "second"));
match(opt)
.when(some(tuple2(eq("third"), any()))).then(b -> doStuff(b))
.when(some(tuple2(any(), eq("second")))).then(a -> doStuff(a))
.when(none()).then(() -> System.out.println("Tuple not found"))
.doMatch();
List Cons Matching
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c", "d");
match(list)
.when(nil()).then(() -> System.out.println("Empty List"))
.when(headNil(eq("b"))).then(() -> System.out.println("Singleton List of 'b'"))
.when(headNil(any())).then(head -> System.out.println("Singleton List of " + head))
.when(headTail(any(), any())).then(
(head, tail) -> System.out.println("head: " + head + " Remaining: " + tail))
.doMatch();
