Represents optional values. Instances of Option
are either an instance of $some or the object $none.
The most idiomatic way to use an $option instance is to treat it
as a collection or monad and use map
,flatMap
, filter
, or
foreach
:
val name: Option[String] = request getParameter "name"
val upper = name map { _.trim } filter { _.length != 0 } map { _.toUpperCase }
println(upper getOrElse "")
Note that this is equivalent to
val upper = for {
name <- request getParameter "name"
trimmed <- Some(name.trim)
upper <- Some(trimmed.toUpperCase) if trimmed.length != 0
} yield upper
println(upper getOrElse "")
Because of how for comprehension works, if $none is returned
from request.getParameter
, the entire expression results in
$none
This allows for sophisticated chaining of $option values without having to check for the existence of a value.
These are useful methods that exist for both $some and $none. - isDefined — True if not empty - isEmpty — True if empty - nonEmpty — True if not empty - orElse — Evaluate and return alternate optional value if empty - getOrElse — Evaluate and return alternate value if empty - get — Return value, throw exception if empty - fold — Apply function on optional value, return default if empty - map — Apply a function on the optional value - flatMap — Same as map but function must return an optional value - foreach — Apply a procedure on option value - collect — Apply partial pattern match on optional value - filter — An optional value satisfies predicate - filterNot — An optional value doesn't satisfy predicate - exists — Apply predicate on optional value, or false if empty - forall — Apply predicate on optional value, or true if empty - contains — Checks if value equals optional value, or false if empty - zip — Combine two optional values to make a paired optional value - unzip — Split an optional pair to two optional values - unzip3 — Split an optional triple to three optional values - toList — Unary list of optional value, otherwise the empty list
A less-idiomatic way to use $option values is via pattern matching:
val nameMaybe = request getParameter "name"
nameMaybe match {
case Some(name) =>
println(name.trim.toUppercase)
case None =>
println("No name value")
}
Interacting with code that can occasionally return null can be safely wrapped in $option to become $none and $some otherwise.
val abc = new java.util.HashMap[Int, String]
abc.put(1, "A")
bMaybe = Option(abc.get(2))
bMaybe match {
case Some(b) =>
println(s"Found $b")
case None =>
println("Not found")
}
- Note:
Many of the methods in here are duplicative with those in the Traversable hierarchy, but they are duplicated for a reason: the implicit conversion tends to leave one with an Iterable in situations where one could have retained an Option.

Builds a new iterable collection by applying a function to all elements of this iterable collection and using the elements of the resulting collections.
Builds a new iterable collection by applying a function to all elements of this iterable collection and using the elements of the resulting collections.
For example:
def getWords(lines: Seq[String]): Seq[String] = lines flatMap (line => line split "\\W+")
The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of iterable collection. This might cause unexpected results sometimes. For example:
// lettersOf will return a Seq[Char] of likely repeated letters, instead of a Set
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words flatMap (word => word.toSet)
// lettersOf will return a Set[Char], not a Seq
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words.toSet flatMap ((word: String) => word.toSeq)
// xs will be an Iterable[Int]
val xs = Map("a" -> List(11,111), "b" -> List(22,222)).flatMap(_._2)
// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]
val ys = Map("a" -> List(1 -> 11,1 -> 111), "b" -> List(2 -> 22,2 -> 222)).flatMap(_._2)
- Type parameters:
- B

This process can be done in a strict way or a non-strict way (ie. without evaluating the elements of the resulting collections). In other words, this methods defines the evaluation model of the collection.

When implementing a custom collection type and refining

Produces a collection containing cumulative results of applying the operator going right to left. The head of the collection is the last cumulative result.
Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.
Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.
Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.
Example:
List(1, 2, 3, 4).scanRight(0)(_ + _) == List(10, 9, 7, 4, 0)
- Type parameters:
- B

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to

Tests whether this collection is known to have a finite size.
Tests whether this collection is known to have a finite size.
All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict
collection such as Stream
, the predicate returns true
if all
elements have been computed. It returns false
if the stream is
not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return
false
even if they were created from a collection with a known
finite size.
Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes.
The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a
traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize
returns true
.
However, checking hasDefiniteSize
can provide an assurance that size is
well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.
- Returns:
true
if this collection is known to have finite size,false
otherwise.- See also:
method
knownSize
for a more useful alternative- Deprecated
This method is deprecated in 2.13 because it does not provide any actionable information. As noted above, even the collection library itself does not use it. When there is no guarantee that a collection is finite, it is generally best to attempt a computation anyway and document that it will not terminate for infinite collections rather than backing out because this would prevent performing the computation on collections that are in fact finite even though
hasDefiniteSize
returnsfalse
