Java One-liners

I am sharing some most commonly used one liner code blocks in Java

Collections

1. Creating an array in single line

List<String> colors = Arrays.asList("Red", "Green", "Blue");

Files

1. Copy file from one location to another location

Files.copy(Paths.get("/from/location/foo.txt"), Paths.get("/to/location/foo.txt"));

2. Read file's content into String

String fileContent = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("/path/to/file.txt")));

3. Filter all files with a particular extension

		Arrays.asList(Paths.get("/path/to/folder").toFile().listFiles(file -> !file.isHidden() &&  file.isFile() && (file.getName().endsWith(".json")))).forEach(file -> {
			// deal with the file
		});

Dates

1. Converting Date String into Date Object

Date dateObject = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("2017-10-15");
