[xtend] how to pass a function to method to use in filter [message #1415244]

I am having a little problem with the xTend syntax.

I would like to pass a function to a utility-method, which applies this function to the filter of a list.

private def void doStuff(Iterable<MyType> list, (MyType) => Boolean filterFunction)
{
   val result = list.filter[filterFunction] // syntax-error: cannot convert from (MyType) => (MyType) => Boolean to Function1
  .... work on result
}

...
doStuff(intputList)[e | e.isTrue] // compiles nicely

My filterFunction maps MyType to Boolean, so why cant I use it in InterableExtensions.filter?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, that works. Thanks

And as I just figured out, its even easier when using normal bracket Laughing

list.filter(filterFunction)
