Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-10223:
--------------------------------------
Support for {{Stream}} converted to array or collection on assignment was added
to Groovy 4, so you could do this:
{code:groovy}
Object[] array = ((Optional) value).stream()
List list = ((Optional) value).stream()
{code}
> Add support for Optional to DefaultTypeTransformation.asCollection()
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: GROOVY-10223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10223
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: groovy-jdk
> Reporter: Stephen Smith
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: features
>
> The JDK recently added support for *Optional::stream()* which returns a
> stream containing either the unwrapped value or an empty stream if the
> *Optional* is empty.
> In the groovy-jdk, using iteration however will call
> {noformat}
> DefaultTypeTransformation.asCollection(){noformat}
> which does not specifically check for type *Optional*, instead it will just
> wrap the *Optional* itself in a *List* rather than the unwrapped value as the
> default behavior.
> Adding an _if else_ clause will allow using the Optional as either a single
> or empty list.
> {code:java}
> if (value instanceOf Optional) {
> return ((Optional)value).map(List::of).orElse(List.of()
> }{code}
> Alternatively, add an *asList()* to the Optional class.
