      • SwitchClosure

        public SwitchClosure​(Predicate<? super E>[] predicates,
                             Closure<? super E>[] closures,
                             Closure<? super E> defaultClosure)
        Constructor that performs no validation. Use switchClosure if you want that.
        Parameters:
        predicates - array of predicates, cloned, no nulls
        closures - matching array of closures, cloned, no nulls
        defaultClosure - the closure to use if no match, null means nop

      • switchClosure

        public static <E> Closure<E> switchClosure​(Predicate<? super E>[] predicates,
                                                   Closure<? super E>[] closures,
                                                   Closure<? super E> defaultClosure)
        Factory method that performs validation and copies the parameter arrays.
        Type Parameters:
        E - the type that the closure acts on
        Parameters:
        predicates - array of predicates, cloned, no nulls
        closures - matching array of closures, cloned, no nulls
        defaultClosure - the closure to use if no match, null means nop
        Returns:
        the chained closure
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if array is null
        NullPointerException - if any element in the array is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the array lengths of predicates and closures do not match
      • switchClosure

        public static <E> Closure<E> switchClosure​(Map<Predicate<E>,​Closure<E>> predicatesAndClosures)
        Create a new Closure that calls one of the closures depending on the predicates.

        The Map consists of Predicate keys and Closure values. A closure is called if its matching predicate returns true. Each predicate is evaluated until one returns true. If no predicates evaluate to true, the default closure is called. The default closure is set in the map with a null key. The ordering is that of the iterator() method on the entryset collection of the map.

        Type Parameters:
        E - the type that the closure acts on
        Parameters:
        predicatesAndClosures - a map of predicates to closures
        Returns:
        the switch closure
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the map is null
        NullPointerException - if any closure in the map is null
        ClassCastException - if the map elements are of the wrong type
