Gradle Scala Template

This is a simple template making Scala development easier. This template provides:

• Shortcuts for Scala library, official modules and third party dependencies
• Dotty support, including shortcuts, required dependencies and compiling task.

A plugin designed to automatically implement these features to your project will be created later.

Usage

Scala 2

The scala.gradle file is already imported. The main build script already implements the scala main library.

Change Scala version

Simply change the scalaVersion variable:

ext.scalaVersion = '2.13.3' //Default value is 2.13.3

Import scala official module or third party dependency

This template provides shortcuts and automatic artifact id generation based on scalaVersion.

dependencies {
  implementation scalaLib() //Main library
  implementation scalaModule('scala-collection-contrib', '0.2.1') //org.scala-lang.modules:scala-collection-contrib_2.13:0.2.1
  implementation scalaDependency('com.typesafe.akka', 'akka-http', '10.2.0-M1') //com.typesafe.akka:akka-http_2.13:10.2.0-M1
}

Dotty

You firstly need to replace the scala.gradle import by dotty.gradle as it already implements the scala script.

Note that your IDE (like Intellij IDEA) could not highlight Dotty features correctly. This does not mean you're unable to compile your project.

Version and build

To change the dotty version use the dottyVersion variable like the scalaVersion one. Because central's dotty artifacts change frequently, you can easily edit the wanted build using the dottyBuild variable:

ext {
  dottyVersion = '0.26.0' //The latest version (02/07/2020) and the template's default.
  dottyBuild = '20200630-6cbb458-NIGHTLY' //Latest build and default.
}

Compiling

Compile your Dotty sources is pretty simple: just use the compileDotty task.
