I have following list structure -
"disks" : [
{
"name" : "A",
"memberNo" :1
},
{
"name" : "B",
"memberNo" :2
},
{
"name" : "C",
"memberNo" :3
},
{
"name" : "D",
}
]
I have many elements in list and want to check for 'memberNo', if it exists I want count of from list elements.
e.g. here count will be 3
How do I check if key exists and get count of elements from list using scala??
First create class to represent your input data
case class Disk (name : String, memberNo : String)
Next load data from repository (or other datasource)
val disks: List[Disk] = ...
And finally count
disks.count(d => Option(d.memberNo).isDefined)
In a similar fashion as in @SergeyLagutin answer, consider this case class
case class Disk (name: String, memberNo: Option[Int] = None)
where missing memberNo are defaulted with None; and this list,
val disks = List( Disk("A", Some(1)),
Disk("B", Some(2)),
Disk("C", Some(3)),
Disk("D"))
Then with flatMap we can filter out those disks with some memberNo, as follows,
disks.flatMap(_.memberNo)
res: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3)
Namely, for the counting,
disks.flatMap(_.memberNo).size
res: Int = 3
Likewise, with a for comprehension,
for (d <- disks ; m <- d.memberNo) yield m
res: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3)
