Scala: Boolean to Option

Question

I have a Boolean and would like to avoid this pattern:

if (myBool) 
  Option(someResult) 
else 
  None

What I\'d like to do is

Answer 1

Starting Scala 2.13, Option has a when builder for this exact purpose:

Option.when(condition)(result)

For instance:

Option.when(true)(3)
// Option[Int] = Some(3)
Option.when(false)(3)
// Option[Int] = None

Also note Option.unless which promotes the opposite condition.
