I have a list of ProductDto objects and I want to group them the similar ones using java 8 streams Collectors.groupingBy(). After grouping the records I want to combine the similar records as single productDto. To achieve this I have used map.forEach and got the expected result, but I want to avoid the forEach loop and want to know any better solution in java 8.
Below is the my Main Class code snippet.
public class GroupTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GroupTest t=new GroupTest();
List<ProductDto> inputDtos=t.createInputData();
List<ProductDto> resultDtos=t.getGroupedResult(inputDtos);
//writing to Excel
}
private List<ProductDto> getGroupedResult(List<ProductDto> inputDtos) {
Map<Object, List<ProductDto>> groupedMap = inputDtos.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(ProductDto::groupSimilarProductIdentifier));
List<ProductDto> resultProductDtos=new ArrayList<>();
groupedMap.forEach((key, dtos) -> {
if (dtos.size() > 1) {
ProductDto productDto = dtos.get(0);
dtos.forEach(dto -> {
if (dto.getLap1() != null) {
productDto.setLap1(dto.getLap1());
} else if (dto.getLap2() != null) {
productDto.setLap2(dto.getLap2());
} else if (dto.getLap3() != null) {
productDto.setLap3(dto.getLap3());
}
});
resultProductDtos.add(productDto);
} else {
resultProductDtos.addAll(dtos);
}
});
return resultProductDtos;
}
private List<ProductDto> createInputData(){
List<ProductDto> dtos=new ArrayList<>();
dtos.add(new ProductDto(1L,"DELL",8,"DELL_s001",null,null));
dtos.add(new ProductDto(1L,"DELL",8,null,"DELL_s002",null));
dtos.add(new ProductDto(1L,"DELL",8,null,null,"DELL_s003"));
dtos.add(new ProductDto(1L,"HP",8,"HP_s001",null,null));
dtos.add(new ProductDto(2L,"APPLE",16,"MAC_s001",null,null));
return dtos;
}
}
This is the ProductDto class code
public class ProductDto {
private Long userId;
private String manufacter;
private int ram;
private String lap1;
private String lap2;
private String lap3;
public ProductDto(Long userId, String manufacter, int ram, String lap1, String lap2, String lap3) {
super();
this.userId = userId;
this.manufacter = manufacter;
this.ram = ram;
this.lap1 = lap1;
this.lap2 = lap2;
this.lap3 = lap3;
}
//getters and Setters
public List<Object> groupSimilarProductIdentifier() {
return Arrays.asList(userId, manufacter, ram);
}
}
Below is the screenshot image shows the input and output records. Output records is the results exactly I want it. Any alternate or better solution in java 8 which is efficient is most welcome.
After Rono comment I found the answer so posting the answer what I did in getGroupedResult method and added a new function mergetwoProduct. So this may help somebody. Below is the code for my getGroupedResult and mergetwoProduct methods after changes.
