Class ConvertNullTo

java.lang.Object

org.supercsv.cellprocessor.CellProcessorAdaptor

org.supercsv.cellprocessor.ConvertNullTo

All Implemented Interfaces:

BoolCellProcessor, CellProcessor, DateCellProcessor, DoubleCellProcessor, LongCellProcessor, StringCellProcessor

Direct Known Subclasses:

Optional

public class ConvertNullTo
extends CellProcessorAdaptor
implements BoolCellProcessor, DateCellProcessor, DoubleCellProcessor, LongCellProcessor, StringCellProcessor

This processor returns a specified default value if the input is null. This is handy when writing partially filled beans, maps and arrays, as for each column a default value can be specified.

To return the String "" when a null is encountered use new ConvertNullTo("\"\"");

If you need further processing of the value in case the value is not null, you can link the processor with other processors such as new ConvertNullTo("\"\"", new Truncate(3))

Since:

1.20
