def apply[InType, OutType](value: InType)(pf: PartialFunction[InType, OutType]): Box[OutType]

Apply the specified PartialFunction to the specified value and return the result in a Full; if the pfis not defined at that point return Empty.
Apply the specified PartialFunction to the specified value and return the result in a Full; if the pfis not defined at that point return Empty.
value
The value to transform.
pf
The partial function to use to transform the value.
returns
A Full containing the transformed value if pf.isDefinedAt(value) and Empty otherwise.
def apply[InType, OutType](pf: PartialFunction[InType, OutType])(value: InType): Box[OutType]

Apply the specified PartialFunction to the specified value and return the result in a Full; if the pf is not defined at that point return Empty.
Apply the specified PartialFunction to the specified value and return the result in a Full; if the pf is not defined at that point return Empty.
pf
The partial function to use to transform the value.
value
The value to transform.
returns
A Full containing the transformed value if pf.isDefinedAt(value) and Empty otherwise.
def apply[T](in: List[T]): Box[T]

Transform a List with zero or more elements to a Box, losing all but the first element if there are more than one.
Transform a List with zero or more elements to a Box, losing all but the first element if there are more than one.
returns
Full(x) with the head of the list if it contains at least one element and Empty otherwise.
def apply[T](in: Box[T]): Box[T]

Create a Box from the specified Box, checking for null.
Create a Box from the specified Box, checking for null.
returns
Full(in) if in is a Full box and its value is non-null, Empty otherwise.
def apply[T](in: Option[T]): Box[T]

Create a Box from the specified Option.
Create a Box from the specified Option.
returns
Full with the contents if the Option is Some and Empty otherwise.
def asA[B](in: T forSome {type T})(implicit m: Manifest[B]): Box[B]

Create a Full box containing the specified value if in is of type B and Empty otherwise.
Create a Full box containing the specified value if in is of type B and Empty otherwise.
For example:
```
scala> Box.asA[Int]("boom")
res0: net.liftweb.common.Box[Int] = Empty

scala> Box.asA[Int](5)
res1: net.liftweb.common.Box[Int] = Full(5)
```

implicit def box2Iterable[T](in: Box[T]): Iterable[T]

This implicit transformation allows one to use a Box as an Iterable of zero or one elements.
This implicit transformation allows one to use a Box as an Iterable of zero or one elements.
returns
A single-element List with the contents if the box is Full and Nil otherwise.
implicit def box2Option[T](in: Box[T]): Option[T]

This implicit transformation allows one to use a Box as an Option.
This implicit transformation allows one to use a Box as an Option.
Note that Box implements get specifically to avoid usage of .get on Box instances. Boxes should be opened using openOrThrowException and their contents compared using == Full(expectedValue).
returns
Some with the contents if the box is Full and None otherwise.

def isA[A, B](in: A, clz: Class[B]): Box[B]

Create a Full box containing the specified value if in is an instance of the specified class clz and Empty otherwise.
Create a Full box containing the specified value if in is an instance of the specified class clz and Empty otherwise.
This is basically a Java-friendly version of asA, which you should prefer when using Scala.
For example:
```
scala> Box.isA("boom", classOf[Int])
res0: net.liftweb.common.Box[Int] = Empty

scala> Box.isA(5, classOf[Int])
res1: net.liftweb.common.Box[Int] = Full(5)
