Create list of object from another using Java 8 Streams

by

If you want to iterate over a list and create a new list with “transformed” objects, you should use the map() function of stream + collect(). In the following example I find all people with the last name “l1” and each person I’m “mapping” to a new Employee instance.

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Person> persons = Arrays.asList(
                new Person("e1", "l1"),
                new Person("e2", "l1"),
                new Person("e3", "l2"),
                new Person("e4", "l2")
        );

        List<Employee> employees = persons.stream()
                .filter(p -> p.getLastName().equals("l1"))
                .map(p -> new Employee(p.getName(), p.getLastName(), 1000))
                .collect(Collectors.toList());

        System.out.println(employees);
    }

}

class Person {

    private String name;
    private String lastName;

    public Person(String name, String lastName) {
        this.name = name;
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    // Getter & Setter
}

class Employee extends Person {

    private double salary;

    public Employee(String name, String lastName, double salary) {
        super(name, lastName);
        this.salary = salary;
    }

    // Getter & Setter
}
