Use findAll to match items in separate lists.
Problem: Given a list of employee names and a list of employee objects, find the id of each employee whose name is in the list.
Provided:
def namesList = ["Joe","Jane"]
class Student {def name; def id}
def students = [
new Student([name:"Joe",id:101]),
new Student([name:"Fred",id:102]),
new Student([name:"Jane",id:104])
]
Solution:
students.findAll {
namesList.contains(it.name)
}.id
Output:
[101,104]
I love groovy. 2 things I love doing in groovy: XML and Collections.
I really like using list.any{} in tests.
assert list.any{it.name == “James”}
