[jira] [Updated] (LANG-1345) Add methods to enhance non-empty strings

["Mitth'raw'nuruodo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1345?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mitth'raw'nuruodo updated LANG-1345:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
As a corollary to {{defaultString}}, {{appendIfMissing}}, and similar methods, which allow the client to replace a missing string with something, it would sometimes be helpful to have methods that enhance a string, if it is present, with a prefix and suffix (or perhaps with an arbitrary function).

Eg
{code}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(queryString)) {
    return url + "?" + queryString;
} else {
    return url;
}
{code}
would become:
{code}
return url + StringUtils.addIfNotEmpty(queryString, "?", null);
{code}

with the second parameter being the prefix, and the third, the suffix. If the string is null or empty, return empty string.

If this could accept arbitrary transformation functions, it could effectively become the Elvis operator.
