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

Here are a couple things I would consider:

val bool: Boolean = ???
val result = 1337    

Option(bool).withFilter(identity).map(_ => result)

or

for {
  opt <- Option(bool)
  if opt
} yield result
