Convert an array that may be null to a stream

I'm a little worried every time, so I'll write it as a memorandum

Summary

All you have to do is remember the idea of returning an empty stream with orElse

Summary


Optional.ofNullable(arr)
  .map(Arrays::stream).orElse(Stream.empty())
  .forEach(System.out::println);

Details

Thing you want to do

I want to stream an array that may be null.

problem

Extended for statements, ʻArrays # stream, and Stream # of` are not null safe. But it is troublesome to check null every time.

When using a for statement


String[] arr = null;

for (String s : arr) { //Here NullPointerException
  System.out.println(s);
}

When using Arrays


String[] arr = null;

Arrays.stream(arr) //Here NullPointerException
  .forEach(System.out::println);

// Stream#of also internally Arrays#Seems to be using stream
Stream.of(arr) //Here NullPointerException
  .forEach(System.out::println);

Use Optional

When using Optional


String[] arr = null;

Optional.ofNullable(arr)     //Optional at this point<String[]>
     .map(Arrays.stream)     //Optional at this point<Stream<String>>
     .orElse(Stream.empty()) //Stream at this point<String>,Stream the contents of the array
     .forEach(System.out::println);
