Question

Is there a shorter/better way to do the following :

mySeq.map { elmt => 
    // do stuff
}   

if (mySeq.isEmpty) {
    // some other stuff
}

Ps : I’m using PlayFramework and this is meant to be used in templates, so if there are any “helpers” there I missed, I would be glad to discover those 😉

How about this?

mySeq.headOption.map { _ =>
  mySeq.map { elmt => 
    // do stuff
  }
}.getOrElse {
  // some other stuff
}
