Scala Option – Getting rid of if (opt.isDefined) {}

Maybe something like this:

somethingReturningAnOpt match {
  case Some(actualThingIWant) => doSomethingWith(actualThingIWant)
  case None =>
}

or as pst suggests:

somethingReturningAnOpt.foreach { actualThingIWant =>
  doSomethingWith(actualThingIWant)
}

// or...

for (actualThingIWant <- somethingReturningAnOpt) {
  doSomethingWith(actualThingIWant)
}
