Groovy Goodness: Use Optional In Conditional Context
In Groovy 2.5.0 we can use a Java 8 Optional object in a conditional context.
When an Optional object has a value the value is coerced to true and when empty the value is false.
assert !Optional.empty()
assert !Optional.ofNullable(null)
assert Optional.of('Groovy rocks!')Written with Groovy 2.5.0.
