scala - Converting getOrElse into a object

Question

I have a part of my program that looks like this

  Option(request.getOverrides)
    .map(_ => convertOverrides(_))
    .getOrElse(FinalOverrideObject(""))

And its suppose to return a FinalOverrideObject and pass it into a a class that requires that object. But the getOrElse converts the output into any and I can not figure out how to convert it into a FinalOverrideObject at the end. Regardless of if the option is Some or None theres always a FinalOverrideObject being returned so it should be safe to cast, I just cant figure out how.

Answer 1

Option(request.getOverrides)
 .map(convertOverrides(_))
 .getOrElse(FinalOverrideObject(""))

Or otherwise:

Option(request.getOverrides)
 .map(o => convertOverrides(o))
 .getOrElse(FinalOverrideObject(""))

Or using fold:

    Option(request.getOverrides)
    .fold(FinalOverrideObject(""))(convertOverrides(_))
