sealed abstract class Option[+A] extends Product with Serializable

Represents optional values. Instances of Option are either an instance of scala.Some or the object None.

The most idiomatic way to use an scala.Option instance is to treat it as a collection or monad and use map,flatMap, filter, or foreach:

val name: Option[String] = request getParameter "name"
val upper = name map { _.trim } filter { _.length != 0 } map { _.toUpperCase }
println(upper getOrElse "")

Note that this is equivalent to

val upper = for {
  name <- request getParameter "name"
  trimmed <- Some(name.trim)
  upper <- Some(trimmed.toUpperCase) if trimmed.length != 0
} yield upper
println(upper getOrElse "")

Because of how for comprehension works, if None is returned from request.getParameter, the entire expression results in None

This allows for sophisticated chaining of scala.Option values without having to check for the existence of a value.

A less-idiomatic way to use scala.Option values is via pattern matching:

val nameMaybe = request getParameter "name"
nameMaybe match {
  case Some(name) =>
    println(name.trim.toUppercase)
  case None =>
    println("No name value")
}

Note

Many of the methods in here are duplicative with those in the Traversable hierarchy, but they are duplicated for a reason: the implicit conversion tends to leave one with an Iterable in situations where one could have retained an Option.

Type Members

  1. class WithFilter extends AnyRef

    We need a whole WithFilter class to honor the "doesn't create a new collection" contract even though it seems unlikely to matter much in a collection with max size 1.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def canEqual(that: Any): Boolean

    A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass.

    A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass. See Programming in Scala, Chapter 28 for discussion and design.

    that

    the value being probed for possible equality

    returns

    true if this instance can possibly equal that, otherwise false

    Equals
  2. abstract def get: A

    Returns the option's value.

    Returns the option's value.

    Exceptions thrown

    java.util.NoSuchElementException if the option is empty.

    Note

    The option must be nonempty.

  3. abstract def isEmpty: Boolean

    Returns true if the option is None, false otherwise.

  4. abstract def productArity: Int

    The size of this product.

    The size of this product.

    returns

    for a product A(x1, ..., xk), returns k

    Definition Classes
    Product
  5. abstract def productElement(n: Int): Any

    The nth element of this product, 0-based.

    The nth element of this product, 0-based. In other words, for a product A(x1, ..., xk), returns x(n+1) where 0 <= n < k.

    n

  2. final def ##(): Int

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

    returns

  4. def ++[B >: A, That](that: GenTraversableOnce[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[collection.Iterable[A], B, That]): That

    Returns a new iterable collection containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand.

    Returns a new iterable collection containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the iterable collection is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

    B

    the element type of the returned collection.

    That

    the class of the returned collection. Where possible, That is the same class as the current collection class Repr, but this depends on the element type B being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That] is found.

    that

    the traversable to append.

    bf

    an implicit value of class CanBuildFrom which determines the result class That from the current representation type Repr and the new element type B.

    returns

    a new collection of type That which contains all elements of this iterable collection followed by all elements of that.

  5. def ++:[B >: A, That](that: collection.Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[collection.Iterable[A], B, That]): That

    As with ++, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

    As with ++, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

    It differs from ++ in that the right operand determines the type of the resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the side of the new COLlection type.

    Example:

    scala> val x = List(1)
    x: List[Int] = List(1)
    
    scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
    y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)
    
    scala> val z = x ++: y
    z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

    This overload exists because: for the implementation of ++: we should reuse that of ++ because many collections override it with more efficient versions.

    Since TraversableOnce has no ++ method, we have to implement that directly, but Traversable and down can use the overload.

    B

    the element type of the returned collection.

    That

    the class of the returned collection. Where possible, That is the same class as the current collection class Repr, but this depends on the element type B being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That] is found.

    bf

  14. def aggregate[B](z: ⇒ B)(seqop: (B, A) ⇒ B, combop: (B, B) ⇒ B): B

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    This is a more general form of fold and reduce. It is similar to foldLeft in that it doesn't require the result to be a supertype of the element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.

    aggregate splits the iterable collection into partitions and processes each partition by sequentially applying seqop, starting with z (like foldLeft). Those intermediate results are then combined by using combop (like fold). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times (even 0).

    As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The initial value for the sum is 0. First, seqop transforms each input character to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, combop just needs to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:

    List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })
    B

    the type of accumulated results

    z

    the initial value for the accumulated result of the partition - this will typically be the neutral element for the seqop operator (e.g. Nil for list concatenation or 0 for summation) and may be evaluated more than once

    seqop

    an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

    combop

    an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

  33. final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    • It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
    • For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
    • null.eq(null) returns true.

    When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

  53. def hasDefiniteSize: Boolean

    Tests whether this iterable collection is known to have a finite size.

    Tests whether this iterable collection is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as Stream, the predicate returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

    Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

    true if this collection is known to have finite size, false otherwise.

    Converts this iterable collection to a list.

    Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

    returns

    a list containing all elements of this iterable collection.

    Implicit
    This member is added by an implicit conversion from Option[A] to Iterable[A] performed by method option2Iterable in scala.Option.
    Shadowing
    This implicitly inherited member is shadowed by one or more members in this class.
    To access this member you can use a type ascription:

  16. def toString(): String

    Converts this iterable collection to a string.

    Converts this iterable collection to a string.

    returns

    a string representation of this collection. By default this string consists of the stringPrefix of this iterable collection, followed by all elements separated by commas and enclosed in parentheses.

  17. def withFilter(p: (A) ⇒ Boolean): FilterMonadic[A, collection.Iterable[A]]

    Creates a non-strict filter of this iterable collection.

    Creates a non-strict filter of this iterable collection.

    Note: the difference between c filter p and c withFilter p is that the former creates a new collection, whereas the latter only restricts the domain of subsequent map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations.

    Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

    p

    the predicate used to test elements.

    returns

    an object of class WithFilter, which supports map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations. All these operations apply to those elements of this iterable collection which satisfy the predicate p.
