Find Movies where an actor with first and last name has worked using Java 8 Streams, map, filter, reduce












0












$begingroup$


I am trying to playaround with Java 8 Stream API and wanted to convert the following method using Java 8 stream filter map reduce.



I have a list of Movies and every Movie object has a list of Actors along with other fields.



I want to find all the movies where the actor with a specific first and last name has worked in it.



The method below is Java 7 based where I loop over the list of Movies and then loop over a list of actors for that movie. If an actor with that first and last name is found, I break the inner loop and add that movie to the list of movies which is returned.



My question is how can I re-write this code using Java 8 streams. I can see it is a map, filter, reduce problem but I am not able to come up with a clear solution.



    public List<Movie> getMoviesForActor(String firstName, String lastName) {

final List<Movie> allMovies = movieRepository.getAllMovies();


final List<Movie> movies = new ArrayList<>();
for (Movie movie : allMovies) {
boolean actorFound = false;
for (Actor actor : movie.getActors()) {
if(firstName.equalsIgnoreCase(actor.getFirstName()) && lastName.equalsIgnoreCase(actor.getLastName())) {
actorFound = true;
break;
}
}
if(actorFound) {
movies.add(movie);
}
}

return movies;
}
