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

Option().collect() is a good pattern for this kind of thing.

Option(myBool).collect { case true => someResult }

from the REPL:

scala> (Option(true).collect { case true => 3 }, Option(false).collect { case true => 3 })
res3: (Option[Int], Option[Int]) = (Some(3),None)
