# Class TransformedQueue<E>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.AbstractCollectionDecorator<E>
org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.TransformedCollection<E>
org.apache.commons.collections4.queue.TransformedQueue<E>

Type Parameters:
  `E` - the type of elements held in this queue

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Iterable<E>`, `Collection<E>`, `Queue<E>`

public class TransformedQueue<E> extends TransformedCollection<E> implements Queue<E>
Decorates another `Queue` to transform objects that are added.

The add/offer methods are affected by this class. Thus objects must be removed or searched for using their transformed form. For example, if the transformation converts Strings to Integers, you must use the Integer form to remove objects.

  - ### TransformedQueue

    protected TransformedQueue(Queue<E> queue, Transformer<? super E,? extends E> transformer)
    Constructor that wraps (not copies).

    If there are any elements already in the queue being decorated, they are NOT transformed.

    Parameters:
      `queue` - the queue to decorate, must not be null
      `transformer` - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if queue or transformer is null

- ## Method Details

  - ### transformedQueue

    public static <E> TransformedQueue<E> transformedQueue(Queue<E> queue, Transformer<? super E,? extends E> transformer)
    Factory method to create a transforming queue that will transform existing contents of the specified queue.

    If there are any elements already in the queue being decorated, they will be transformed by this method. Contrast this with `transformingQueue(Queue, Transformer)`.

    Type Parameters:
      `E` - the type of the elements in the queue
    Parameters:
      `queue` - the queue to decorate, must not be null
      `transformer` - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
    Returns:
      a new transformed Queue
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if queue or transformer is null
    Since:
      4.0

  - ### transformingQueue

    public static <E> TransformedQueue<E> transformingQueue(Queue<E> queue, Transformer<? super E,? extends E> transformer)
    Factory method to create a transforming queue.

    If there are any elements already in the queue being decorated, they are NOT transformed. Contrast this with `transformedQueue(Queue, Transformer)`.

    Type Parameters:
      `E` - the type of the elements in the queue
    Parameters:
      `queue` - the queue to decorate, must not be null
      `transformer` - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
    Returns:
      a new transformed Queue
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if queue or transformer is null
