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

Another choice:

implicit class RichOptionCompanion(val self: Option.type) extends AnyVal {
  def when[A](cond: Boolean)(value: => A): Option[A] = if(cond) Some(value) else None
}

Usage:

Option.when(foo != "bar") { ... }
