Interface PropertyExtractor<ValueIn,ValueOut>

Type Parameters:

ValueIn - the input value type

ValueOut - the extracted / transformed value type

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

@Beta
public interface PropertyExtractor<ValueIn,ValueOut>
extends Serializable

The PropertyExtractor interface is used in suppliers to retrieve values from input value types and extract or transform them to some other type to be used in aggregations.

For Java 6 and 7:

 public class EmployeeIntTransformer implements PropertyExtractor<Employee, Integer> {
   public Integer extract(Employee value) {
       return value.getSalaryPerMonth();
   }
 }

 Supplier supplier = Supplier.all(new EmployeeIntTransformer());
 

Or in Java 8:

 Supplier supplier = Supplier.all((value) -> value.getSalaryPerMonth());
 

Since:

3.3
