Usage

hamcrest-optional provides four matchers for Optional: isEmpty(), isPresent(), isPresentAndIs(Object) and isPresentAnd(Matcher).

isEmpty()

This matcher matches when the examined Optional contains no value.

import static com.github.npathai.hamcrestopt.OptionalMatchers.isEmpty;

Optional<Object> optional = Optional.empty();
assertThat(optional, isEmpty());

isPresent()

This matcher matches when the examined Optional contains a value.

import static com.github.npathai.hamcrestopt.OptionalMatchers.isPresent;

Optional<String> optional = Optional.of("dummy value");
assertThat(optional, isPresent());

isPresentAndIs(Object)

This matcher matches when the examined Optional contains a value that is logically equal to the specified object.

import static com.github.npathai.hamcrestopt.OptionalMatchers.isPresentAndIs;

Optional<String> optional = Optional.of("dummy value");
assertThat(optional, isPresentAndIs("dummy value"));

isPresentAnd(Matcher)

This matcher matches when the examined Optional contains a value that satisfies the specified matcher.

import static com.github.npathai.hamcrestopt.OptionalMatchers.isPresentAnd;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.startsWith;

Optional<String> optional = Optional.of("dummy value");
assertThat(optional, isPresentAnd(startsWith("dummy")));
