Let's say I have a following case class:
case class Product(name: String, categoryId: Option[Long]/*, other fields....*/)
Here you can see that categoryId
is optional.
Now let's say I have a following method in my DAO layer:
getCategoryProducts(): List[Product] = {
// query products that have categoryId defined
}
You see, that this method returns products, that are guaranteed
to have categoryId defined with some value.
What I would like to do is something like this:
trait HasCategory {
def categoryId_!: Long
}
// and then specify in method signature
getCategoryProducts(): List[Product with HasCategory]
This will work, but then such a product will have two methods: categoryId_!
and categoryId
that smells bad.
Another way would be:
sealed trait Product {
def name: String
/*other fields*/
}
case class SimpleProduct(name: String, /*, other fields....*/) extends Product
case class ProductWithCategory(name: String, categoryId: Long/*, other fields....*/) extends Product
def getCategoryProducts: List[ProductWithCategory] = ...
This method helps to avoid duplicate methods categoryId and categoryId_!, but it requires you to create two case classes and a trait duplicating all the fields, which also smells.
My question: how can I use Scala type system to declare this specific case without these fields duplications ?
