collect a field from list of list of groups in java code example

Example 1: java 8 stream group by example

package com.mkyong.java8;

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class Java8Examples4 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //3 apple, 2 banana, others 1
        List<Item> items = Arrays.asList(
                new Item("apple", 10, new BigDecimal("9.99")),
                new Item("banana", 20, new BigDecimal("19.99")),
                new Item("orang", 10, new BigDecimal("29.99")),
                new Item("watermelon", 10, new BigDecimal("29.99")),
                new Item("papaya", 20, new BigDecimal("9.99")),
                new Item("apple", 10, new BigDecimal("9.99")),
                new Item("banana", 10, new BigDecimal("19.99")),
                new Item("apple", 20, new BigDecimal("9.99"))
                );

		//group by price
        Map<BigDecimal, List<Item>> groupByPriceMap =
			items.stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Item::getPrice));

        System.out.println(groupByPriceMap);

		// group by price, uses 'mapping' to convert List<Item> to Set<String>
        Map<BigDecimal, Set<String>> result =
                items.stream().collect(
                        Collectors.groupingBy(Item::getPrice,
                                Collectors.mapping(Item::getName, Collectors.toSet())
                        )
                );

        System.out.println(result);

    }
}

Example 2: java 8 group a collections by 2 property

Map<String, Map<BlogPostType, List>> map = posts.stream()
  .collect(groupingBy(BlogPost::getAuthor, groupingBy(BlogPost::getType)));
