matching

abstract fun matching(spec: Spec<in T>): DomainObjectCollection<T>(source)

Returns a collection which contains the objects in this collection which meet the given specification. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

This method is an intermediate eager operation. The application of the filter forces the realization of the collection elements.

Return

The collection of matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.

Parameters

spec

The specification to use.


abstract fun matching(spec: Closure): DomainObjectCollection<T>(source)

Returns a collection which contains the objects in this collection which meet the given closure specification. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

This method is an intermediate eager operation. The application of the filter forces the realization of the collection elements.

Return

The collection of matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.

Parameters

The specification to use. The closure gets a collection element as an argument.
