How to convert List<Person> to Map<String, List<Double>> instead of Map<String, List<Person>>?

Nipun :

Considering Person class has three fields name(String), age(int), salary(double).

I want to create a map with name as key and value as salary (instead of Person object itself), if key is not unique then use linkedList to hold the values of all duplicate keys.

I am referring to the solution given in the link given below: Idiomatically creating a multi-value Map from a Stream in Java 8 but still unclear how to create hashmap with Salary as value.

I can create map<String, List<Double>> with forEach(). code is given below:

List<Person> persons= new ArrayList<>();
        persons.add(p1);
        persons.add(p2);
        persons.add(p3);
        persons.add(p4);

        Map<String, List<Double>> personsByName = new HashMap<>();

        persons.forEach(person ->
            personsByName.computeIfAbsent(person.getName(), key -> new LinkedList<>())
                    .add(person.getSalary())
        );

but I am trying to use "groupingBy & collect" to create a map. If we want Person object itself as value then the code is given below:

Map<String, List<Person>> personsByNameGroupingBy = persons.stream()
                .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Person::getName, Collectors.toList()));

But I want to create a map with salary as value like given below:

Map<String, List<Double>> 

How to achieve this scenario?

Eran :

You can use Collectors.mapping to map the Person instances to the corresponding salaries:

Map<String, List<Double>> salariesByNameGroupingBy = 
    persons.stream()
           .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Person::getName, 
                                          Collectors.mapping(Person::getSalary,
                                                             Collectors.toList())));
