Repository Details

Automatic and customizable compile time transformations between similar case classes and sealed traits/enums, essentially a thing that glues your code. Scala 3 only. Or is it duct 🤔

ducktape-logo-32 ducktape

Maven Central

ducktape is a library for boilerplate-less and configurable transformations between case classes and enums/sealed traits for Scala 3. Directly inspired by chimney.

If this project interests you, please drop a 🌟 - these things are worthless but give me a dopamine rush nonetheless.

Installation

libraryDependencies += "io.github.arainko" %% "ducktape" % "0.1.11"

// or if you're using Scala.js or Scala Native
libraryDependencies += "io.github.arainko" %%% "ducktape" % "0.1.11"

NOTE: the version scheme is set to early-semver

Total transformations - examples

1. Case class to case class

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class Person(firstName: String, lastName: String, age: Int)
final case class PersonButMoreFields(firstName: String, lastName: String, age: Int, socialSecurityNo: String)

val personWithMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields("John", "Doe", 30, "SOCIAL-NUM-12345")
// personWithMoreFields: PersonButMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields(
//   firstName = "John",
//   lastName = "Doe",
//   age = 30,
//   socialSecurityNo = "SOCIAL-NUM-12345"
// )

val transformed = personWithMoreFields.to[Person]
// transformed: Person = Person(firstName = "John", lastName = "Doe", age = 30)

Automatic case class to case class transformations are supported given that the source type has all the fields of the destination type and the types corresponding to these fields have an instance of Transformer in scope.

If these requirements are not met, a compiletime error is issued:

val person = Person("Jerry", "Smith", 20)

person.to[PersonButMoreFields]

// error:
// No field named 'socialSecurityNo' found in Person
//     .into[Person2]
//                   ^

2. Enum to enum

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

enum Size:
  case Small, Medium, Large

enum ExtraSize:
  case ExtraSmall, Small, Medium, Large, ExtraLarge

val transformed = Size.Small.to[ExtraSize]
// transformed: ExtraSize = Small

We can't go to a coproduct that doesn't contain all of our cases (name wise):

val size = ExtraSize.Small.to[Size]
// error:
// No child named 'ExtraSmall' in Size

Automatic enum to enum transformations are supported given that the destination enum contains a subset of cases we want to transform into, otherwise a compiletime errors is issued.

3. Case class to case class with config

As we established earlier, going from Person to PersonButMoreFields cannot happen automatically as the former doesn't have the socialSecurityNo field, but it has all the other fields - so it's almost there, we just have to nudge it a lil' bit.

We can do so with field configurations in 3 ways:

  1. Set a constant to a specific field with Field.const
  2. Compute the value for a specific field by applying a function with Field.computed
  3. Use a different field in its place - 'rename' it with Field.renamed
  4. Use the default value of the target case class with Field.default
  5. Grab all matching fields from another case class with Field.allMatching
import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class Person(firstName: String, lastName: String, age: Int)
final case class PersonButMoreFields(firstName: String, lastName: String, age: Int, socialSecurityNo: String = "ssn")

val person = Person("Jerry", "Smith", 20)
// person: Person = Person(firstName = "Jerry", lastName = "Smith", age = 20)

// 1. Set a constant to a specific field
val withConstant = 
  person
    .into[PersonButMoreFields]
    .transform(Field.const(_.socialSecurityNo, "CONSTANT-SSN"))
// withConstant: PersonButMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields(
//   firstName = "Jerry",
//   lastName = "Smith",
//   age = 20,
//   socialSecurityNo = "CONSTANT-SSN"
// )

// 2. Compute the value for a specific field by applying a function
val withComputed = 
  person
    .into[PersonButMoreFields]
    .transform(Field.computed(_.socialSecurityNo, p => s"${p.firstName}-COMPUTED-SSN"))
// withComputed: PersonButMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields(
//   firstName = "Jerry",
//   lastName = "Smith",
//   age = 20,
//   socialSecurityNo = "Jerry-COMPUTED-SSN"
// )

// 3. Use a different field in its place - 'rename' it
val withRename = 
  person
    .into[PersonButMoreFields]
    .transform(Field.renamed(_.socialSecurityNo, _.firstName))
// withRename: PersonButMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields(
//   firstName = "Jerry",
//   lastName = "Smith",
//   age = 20,
//   socialSecurityNo = "Jerry"
// )

// 4. Use the default value of a specific field (a compiletime error will be issued if the field doesn't have a default)
val withDefault = 
  person
    .into[PersonButMoreFields]
    .transform(Field.default(_.socialSecurityNo))
// withDefault: PersonButMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields(
//   firstName = "Jerry",
//   lastName = "Smith",
//   age = 20,
//   socialSecurityNo = "ssn"
// )

final case class FieldSource(lastName: String, socialSecurityNo: String)

// 5. Grab and use all matching fields from a different case class (a compiletime error will be issued if none of the fields match)
val withAllMatchingFields = 
  person
    .into[PersonButMoreFields]
    .transform(Field.allMatching(FieldSource("SourcedLastName", "SOURCED-SSN")))
// withAllMatchingFields: PersonButMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields(
//   firstName = "Jerry",
//   lastName = "SourcedLastName",
//   age = 20,
//   socialSecurityNo = "SOURCED-SSN"
// )

In case we repeatedly apply configurations to the same field a warning is emitted (which can be ignored with @nowarn) and the latest one is chosen:

val withRepeatedConfig =
  person
    .into[PersonButMoreFields]
    .transform(
      Field.renamed(_.socialSecurityNo, _.firstName),
      Field.computed(_.socialSecurityNo, p => s"${p.firstName}-COMPUTED-SSN"),
      Field.allMatching(FieldSource("SourcedLastName", "SOURCED-SSN")),
      Field.const(_.socialSecurityNo, "CONSTANT-SSN")
    )
// warning: 
//  Field 'socialSecurityNo' is configured multiple times
//  
//  If this is desired you can ignore this warning with @nowarn(msg=Field 'socialSecurityNo' is configured multiple times)
//

Of course we can use this to override the automatic derivation for each field:

val withEverythingOverriden = 
  person
    .into[PersonButMoreFields]
    .transform(
      Field.const(_.socialSecurityNo, "CONSTANT-SSN"),
      Field.const(_.age, 100),
      Field.const(_.firstName, "OVERRIDEN-FIRST-NAME"),
      Field.const(_.lastName, "OVERRIDEN-LAST-NAME"),
    )
// withEverythingOverriden: PersonButMoreFields = PersonButMoreFields(
//   firstName = "OVERRIDEN-FIRST-NAME",
//   lastName = "OVERRIDEN-LAST-NAME",
//   age = 100,
//   socialSecurityNo = "CONSTANT-SSN"
// )

4. Enum to enum with config

Enum transformations, just like case class transformations, can be configured by:

  • supplying a constant value with Case.const,
  • supplying a function that will be applied to the chosen subtype with Case.computed.
import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

enum Size:
  case Small, Medium, Large

enum ExtraSize:
  case ExtraSmall, Small, Medium, Large, ExtraLarge

// Specify a constant for the cases that are not covered automatically
val withConstants = 
  ExtraSize.ExtraSmall
    .into[Size]
    .transform(
      Case.const[ExtraSize.ExtraSmall.type](Size.Small),
      Case.const[ExtraSize.ExtraLarge.type](Size.Large)
    )
// withConstants: Size = Small

// Specify a function to transform a given case with that function
val withComputed =
  ExtraSize.ExtraSmall
    .into[Size]
    .transform(
      Case.computed[ExtraSize.ExtraSmall.type](_ => Size.Small),
      Case.computed[ExtraSize.ExtraLarge.type](_ => Size.Large)
    )
// withComputed: Size = Small

5. Method to case class

We can also let ducktape expand method incovations for us:

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class Person1(firstName: String, lastName: String, age: Int)
final case class Person2(firstName: String, lastName: String, age: Int)

def methodToExpand(lastName: String, age: Int, firstName: String): Person2 =
  Person2(firstName, lastName, age)

val person1: Person1 = Person1("John", "Doe", 23)
// person1: Person1 = Person1(firstName = "John", lastName = "Doe", age = 23)
val person2: Person2 = person1.via(methodToExpand)
// person2: Person2 = Person2(firstName = "John", lastName = "Doe", age = 23)

In this case, ducktape will match the fields from Person to parameter names of methodToExpand failing at compiletime if a parameter cannot be matched (be it there's no name correspondence or a Transformer between types of two fields with the same name isn't available):

def methodToExpandButOneMoreArg(lastName: String, age: Int, firstName: String, additionalArg: String): Person2 =
  Person2(firstName + additionalArg, lastName, age)

person1.via(methodToExpandButOneMoreArg)
// error:
// No field named 'additionalArg' in Person

6. Method to case class with config

Just like transforming between case classes and coproducts we can nudge the derivation in some places to complete the puzzle, let's tackle the last example once again:

def methodToExpandButOneMoreArg(lastName: String, age: Int, firstName: String, additionalArg: String): Person2 =
  Person2(firstName + additionalArg, lastName, age)

val withConstant = 
  person1
    .intoVia(methodToExpandButOneMoreArg)
    .transform(Arg.const(_.additionalArg, "-CONST ARG"))
// withConstant: Person2 = Person2(
//   firstName = "John-CONST ARG",
//   lastName = "Doe",
//   age = 23
// )

val withComputed = 
  person1
    .intoVia(methodToExpandButOneMoreArg)
    .transform(Arg.computed(_.additionalArg, _.lastName + "-COMPUTED"))
// withComputed: Person2 = Person2(
//   firstName = "JohnDoe-COMPUTED",
//   lastName = "Doe",
//   age = 23
// )

val withRenamed = 
  person1
    .intoVia(methodToExpandButOneMoreArg)
    .transform(Arg.renamed(_.additionalArg, _.lastName))
// withRenamed: Person2 = Person2(
//   firstName = "JohnDoe",
//   lastName = "Doe",
//   age = 23
// )

7. Automatic wrapping and unwrapping of AnyVal

Despite being a really flawed abstraction AnyVal is pretty prevalent in Scala 2 code that you may want to interop with and ducktape is here to assist you. Transformer definitions for wrapping and uwrapping AnyVals are automatically available:

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class WrappedString(value: String) extends AnyVal

val wrapped = WrappedString("I am a String")
// wrapped: WrappedString = WrappedString(value = "I am a String")

val unwrapped = wrapped.to[String]
// unwrapped: String = "I am a String"

val wrappedAgain = unwrapped.to[WrappedString]
// wrappedAgain: WrappedString = WrappedString(value = "I am a String")

8. Defining custom Transformers

If for some reason you need a custom Transformer in scope but still want to partially rely on the automatic derivation and have all the configuration DSL goodies you can use these:

  • Transformer.define[Source, Dest].build(<Field/Case configuration>)
  • Transformer.defineVia[Source](someMethod).build(<Arg configuration>)

Examples:

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class TestClass(str: String, int: Int)
final case class TestClassWithAdditionalList(int: Int, str: String, additionalArg: List[String])

def method(str: String, int: Int, additionalArg: List[String]) = TestClassWithAdditionalList(int, str, additionalArg)

val testClass = TestClass("str", 1)
// testClass: TestClass = TestClass(str = "str", int = 1)

val definedViaTransformer =
  Transformer
    .defineVia[TestClass](method)
    .build(Arg.const(_.additionalArg, List("const")))
// definedViaTransformer: Transformer[TestClass, TestClassWithAdditionalList] = repl.MdocSession$MdocApp7$$Lambda$49797/0x0000000105feec40@706c2b38

val definedTransformer =
  Transformer
    .define[TestClass, TestClassWithAdditionalList]   
    .build(Field.const(_.additionalArg, List("const")))
// definedTransformer: Transformer[TestClass, TestClassWithAdditionalList] = repl.MdocSession$MdocApp7$$Lambda$49798/0x0000000105ff8040@73dc7770

val transformedVia = definedViaTransformer.transform(testClass)
// transformedVia: TestClassWithAdditionalList = TestClassWithAdditionalList(
//   int = 1,
//   str = "str",
//   additionalArg = List("const")
// )

val transformed = definedTransformer.transform(testClass)
// transformed: TestClassWithAdditionalList = TestClassWithAdditionalList(
//   int = 1,
//   str = "str",
//   additionalArg = List("const")
// )

Usecase: recursive Transformers

Recursive instances are lazy by nature so automatic derivation will be of no use here, we need to get our hands a little bit dirty:

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class Rec[A](value: A, rec: Option[Rec[A]])

given recursive[A, B](using Transformer[A, B]): Transformer[Rec[A], Rec[B]] = 
  Transformer.define[Rec[A], Rec[B]].build()

Rec("1", Some(Rec("2", Some(Rec("3", None))))).to[Rec[Option[String]]]
// res9: Rec[Option[String]] = Rec(
//   value = Some(value = "1"),
//   rec = Some(
//     value = Rec(
//       value = Some(value = "2"),
//       rec = Some(value = Rec(value = Some(value = "3"), rec = None))
//     )
//   )
// )

Fallible transfomations - examples

Sometimes ordinary field mappings just do not cut it, more often than not our domain model's constructors are hidden behind a safe factory method, eg.:

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class ValidatedPerson private (name: String, age: Int)

object ValidatedPerson {
  def create(name: String, age: Int): Either[String, ValidatedPerson] =
    for {
      validatedName <- Either.cond(!name.isBlank, name, "Name should not be blank")
      validatedAge  <- Either.cond(age > 0, age, "Age should be positive")
    } yield ValidatedPerson(validatedName, validatedAge)
}

The via method expansion mechanism has us covered in the most straight-forward of use cases where there are no nested fallible transformations:

final case class UnvalidatedPerson(name: String, age: Int, socialSecurityNo: String)

val unvalidatedPerson = UnvalidatedPerson("ValidName", -1, "SSN")
// unvalidatedPerson: UnvalidatedPerson = UnvalidatedPerson(
//   name = "ValidName",
//   age = -1,
//   socialSecurityNo = "SSN"
// )

val transformed = unvalidatedPerson.via(ValidatedPerson.create)
// transformed: Either[String, ValidatedPerson] = Left(
//   value = "Age should be positive"
// )

But this quickly falls apart when nested transformations are introduced and we're pretty much back to square one where we're on our own to write the boilerplate.

That's where Fallible Transformers and their modes come in:

  • Transformer.Mode.Accumulating for error accumulation,
  • Transformer.Mode.FailFast for the cases where we just want to bail at the very first sight of trouble.

Let's look at the definition of all of these:

Definition of FallibleTransformer aka Transformer.Fallible and Transformer.Mode

trait FallibleTransformer[F[+x], Source, Dest] {
  def transform(value: Source): F[Dest]
}

So a Fallible transformer takes a Source and gives back a Dest wrapped in an F where F is the wrapper type for our transformations eg. if F[+x] = Either[List[String], x] then the transform method will return an Either[List[String], Dest].

sealed trait Mode[F[+x]] {
  def pure[A](value: A): F[A]
  def map[A, B](fa: F[A], f: A => B): F[B]
  def traverseCollection[A, B, AColl[x] <: Iterable[x], BColl[x] <: Iterable[x]](collection: AColl[A])(using
    transformer: FallibleTransformer[F, A, B],
    factory: Factory[B, BColl[B]]
  ): F[BColl[B]]
}

Moving on to Transformer.Mode, what exactly is it and why do we need it? So a Mode[F] is typeclass that gives us two bits of information:

  • a hint for the derivation mechanism which transformation mode to use (hence the name!)
  • some operations on the abstract F wrapper type, namely:
    • pure is for wrapping arbitrary values into F, eg. if F[+x] = Either[List[String], x] then calling pure would involve just wrapping the value in a Right.apply call.
    • map is for operating on the wrapped values, eg. if we find ourselves with a F[Int] in hand and we want to transform the value 'inside' to a String we can call .map(_.toString) to yield a F[String]
    • traverseCollection is for the cases where we end up with eg. a List[F[String]] and we want to transform that into a F[List[String]] according to the rules of the F type wrapper and not blow up the stack in the process

As mentioned earlier, Modes come in two flavors - one for error accumulating transformations (Transformer.Mode.Accumulating[F]) and one for fail fast transformations (Transformer.Mode.FailFast[F]):

object Mode {
  trait Accumulating[F[+x]] extends Mode[F] {
    def product[A, B](fa: F[A], fb: F[B]): F[(A, B)]
  }

  trait FailFast[F[+x]] extends Mode[F] {
    def flatMap[A, B](fa: F[A], f: A => F[B]): F[B]
  }
}

Each one of these exposes one operation that dictates its approach to errors, flatMap entails a dependency between fallible transformations so if we chain multiple flatMaps together our transformation will stop at the very first error, contrary to this Transformer.Mode.Accumulating exposes a product operation that given two independent transformations wrapped in F gives us back a tuple wrapped in an F, what that means is that each one of the transformations is independent from each other so we're able to accumulate all of the errors produced by these.

For accumulating transformations ducktape provides instances for Either with any subtype of Iterable on the left side, so that eg. Transformer.Mode.Accumulating[[A] =>> Either[List[String], A]] is available out of the box.

For fail fast transformations instances for Option and Either are avaiable out of the box.

Automatic fallible transformations

Now for the meat and potatoes of Fallible Transformers. To make use of the derivation mechanism that ducktape provides we should strive for our model to be modeled in a specific way - with a new nominal type per each validated field, which comes down to... Newtypes!

Let's define a minimalist newtype abstraction that will also do validation (this is a one-time effort that can easily be extracted to a library):

abstract class NewtypeValidated[A](pred: A => Boolean, errorMessage: String) {
  opaque type Type = A

  protected def unsafe(value: A): Type = value

  def make(value: A): Either[String, Type] = Either.cond(pred(value), value, errorMessage)

  def makeAccumulating(value: A): Either[List[String], Type] = 
    make(value).left.map(_ :: Nil)

  extension (self: Type) {
    def value: A = self
  }

  // these instances will be available in the implicit scope of `Type` (that is, our newtype)
  given accumulatingWrappingTransformer: Transformer.Fallible[[a] =>> Either[List[String], a], A, Type] = makeAccumulating(_)

  given failFastWrappingTransformer: Transformer.Fallible[[a] =>> Either[String, a], A, Type] = make(_)

  given unwrappingTransformer: Transformer[Type, A] = _.value

}

Now let's get back to the definition of ValidatedPerson and tweak it a little:

final case class ValidatedPerson(name: ValidatedPerson.Name, age: ValidatedPerson.Age, socialSecurityNo: ValidatedPerson.SSN)

object ValidatedPerson {
  object Name extends NewtypeValidated[String](str => !str.isBlank, "Name should not be blank!")
  export Name.Type as Name

  object Age extends NewtypeValidated[Int](int => int > 0, "Age should be positive!")
  export Age.Type as Age

  object SSN extends NewtypeValidated[String](str => str.length > 5, "SSN should be longer than 5!")
  export SSN.Type as SSN

}

We introduce a newtype for each field, this way we can keep our invariants at compiletime and also let ducktape do its thing.

// this should trip up our validation
val bad = UnvalidatedPerson(name = "", age = -1, socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO")
// bad: UnvalidatedPerson = UnvalidatedPerson(
//   name = "",
//   age = -1,
//   socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
// )

// this one should pass
val good = UnvalidatedPerson(name = "ValidName", age = 24, socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO")
// good: UnvalidatedPerson = UnvalidatedPerson(
//   name = "ValidName",
//   age = 24,
//   socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
// )

Instances of Transformer.Fallible wrapped in some type F are derived automatically for case classes given that a Transformer.Mode.Accumulating instance exists for F and all of the fields of the source type have a corresponding counterpart in the destination type and each one of them has an instance of either Transformer.Fallible or a total Transformer in scope.

given Transformer.Mode.Accumulating[[A] =>> Either[List[String], A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.Accumulating.either[String, List]

bad.fallibleTo[ValidatedPerson]
// res11: Either[List[String], ValidatedPerson] = Left(
//   value = List("Name should not be blank!", "Age should be positive!")
// )
good.fallibleTo[ValidatedPerson]
// res12: Either[List[String], ValidatedPerson] = Right(
//   value = ValidatedPerson(
//     name = "ValidName",
//     age = 24,
//     socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
//   )
// )

and the generated code looks like this:

  {
    val transformer$proxy3
      : FallibleTransformer[[A >: Nothing <: Any] =>> Either[List[String], A], UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson] = {
      val Dest$proxy3: Product {
        type MirroredMonoType >: ValidatedPerson <: ValidatedPerson

        type MirroredElemLabels >: *:["name", *:["age", *:["socialSecurityNo", EmptyTuple]]] <: *:[
          "name",
          *:["age", *:["socialSecurityNo", EmptyTuple]]
        ]
      } = ValidatedPerson.$asInstanceOf$[
        Product {

            "name",
            *:["age", *:["socialSecurityNo", EmptyTuple]]
          ]
        }
      ]

      ((
        (source: UnvalidatedPerson) =>
          given_Accumulating_Either.map[Tuple2[Tuple2[Type, Type], Type], ValidatedPerson](
            given_Accumulating_Either.product[Tuple2[Type, Type], Type](

                ValidatedPerson.Name.accumulatingWrappingTransformer.transform(source.name),

              value match {
                case Tuple2(Tuple2(name, age), socialSecurityNo) =>
                  new ValidatedPerson(name = name, age = age, socialSecurityNo = socialSecurityNo)
                case x =>
                  throw new MatchError(x)
              }

      ]): FallibleTransformer[[A >: Nothing <: Any] =>> Either[List[String], A], UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson]
    }

    transformer$proxy3.transform(bad): Either[List[String], ValidatedPerson]
  }

Same goes for instances that do fail fast transformations (you need Transformer.Mode.FailFast[F] in scope in this case)

given Transformer.Mode.FailFast[[A] =>> Either[String, A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.FailFast.either[String]

bad.fallibleTo[ValidatedPerson]
// res14: Either[String, ValidatedPerson] = Left(

good.fallibleTo[ValidatedPerson]

//   value = ValidatedPerson(
//     name = "ValidName",
//     age = 24,
//     socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
//   )
// )

and the generated code looks like this:

  {
    val transformer$proxy6
      : FallibleTransformer[[A >: Nothing <: Any] =>> Either[String, A], UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson] = {

Configured fallible transformations

Fallible transformations support a superset of total transformations' configuration options.

Field config

All of these work the very same way they do in total transformations:

  • Field.const
  • Field.computed
  • Field.renamed
  • Field.allMatching
  • Field.default

plus two fallible-specific config options:

  • Field.fallibleConst
  • Field.fallibleComputed

which work like so for Accumulating transformations:

given Transformer.Mode.Accumulating[[A] =>> Either[List[String], A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.Accumulating.either[String, List]

bad
  .into[ValidatedPerson]
  .fallible
  .transform(
    Field.fallibleConst(_.name, ValidatedPerson.Name.makeAccumulating("ConstValidName")),
    Field.fallibleComputed(_.age, unvPerson => ValidatedPerson.Age.makeAccumulating(unvPerson.age + 100))
  )
// res17: Either[List[String], ValidatedPerson] = Right(
//   value = ValidatedPerson(
//     name = "ConstValidName",
//     age = 99,
//     socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
//   )
// )

and for FailFast transformations:

given Transformer.Mode.FailFast[[A] =>> Either[String, A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.FailFast.either[String]

bad
  .into[ValidatedPerson]
  .fallible
  .transform(
    Field.fallibleConst(_.name, ValidatedPerson.Name.make("ConstValidName")),
    Field.fallibleComputed(_.age, unvPerson => ValidatedPerson.Age.make(unvPerson.age + 100))
  )
// res18: Either[String, ValidatedPerson] = Right(
//   value = ValidatedPerson(
//     name = "ConstValidName",
//     age = 99,
//     socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
//   )
// )
Arg config

All of these work the very same way they do in total transformations:

  • Arg.const
  • Arg.computed
  • Arg.renamed

plus two fallible-specific config options:

  • Arg.fallibleConst
  • Arg.fallibleComputed

which work like so for Accumulating transformations:

given Transformer.Mode.Accumulating[[A] =>> Either[List[String], A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.Accumulating.either[String, List]

bad
  .intoVia(ValidatedPerson.apply)
  .fallible
  .transform(
    Arg.fallibleConst(_.name, ValidatedPerson.Name.makeAccumulating("ConstValidName")),
    Arg.fallibleComputed(_.age, unvPerson => ValidatedPerson.Age.makeAccumulating(unvPerson.age + 100))
  )
// res19: Either[List[String], ValidatedPerson] = Right(
//   value = ValidatedPerson(
//     name = "ConstValidName",
//     age = 99,
//     socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
//   )
// )

and for FailFast transformations:

given Transformer.Mode.FailFast[[A] =>> Either[String, A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.FailFast.either[String]

bad
  .intoVia(ValidatedPerson.apply)
  .fallible
  .transform(
    Arg.fallibleConst(_.name, ValidatedPerson.Name.make("ConstValidName")),
    Arg.fallibleComputed(_.age, unvPerson => ValidatedPerson.Age.make(unvPerson.age + 100))
  )
// res20: Either[String, ValidatedPerson] = Right(
//   value = ValidatedPerson(
//     name = "ConstValidName",
//     age = 99,
//     socialSecurityNo = "SOCIALNO"
//   )
// )

Building custom instances of fallible transformers

Life is not always lolipops and crisps and sometimes you need to write a typeclass instance by hand. Worry not though, just like in the case of total transformers, we can easily define custom instances with the help of the configuration DSL (which, let's write it down once again, is a superset of total transformers' DSL).

By all means go wild with the configuration options, I'm too lazy to write them all out here again.

given Transformer.Mode.Accumulating[[A] =>> Either[List[String], A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.Accumulating.either[String, List]

val customAccumulating =
  Transformer
    .define[UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson]
    .fallible
    .build(
      Field.fallibleConst(_.name, ValidatedPerson.Name.makeAccumulating("IAmAlwaysValidNow!"))
    )
// customAccumulating: FallibleTransformer[[A >: Nothing <: Any] => Either[List[String], A], UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson] = repl.MdocSession$MdocApp10$$anon$45@205c3a67
given Transformer.Mode.FailFast[[A] =>> Either[String, A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.FailFast.either[String]

val customFailFast =
  Transformer
    .define[UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson]
    .fallible
    .build(
      Field.fallibleComputed(_.age, uvp => ValidatedPerson.Age.make(uvp.age + 30))
    )
// customFailFast: FallibleTransformer[[A >: Nothing <: Any] => Either[String, A], UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson] = repl.MdocSession$MdocApp10$$anon$47@1c281ddb

And for the ones that are not keen on writing out method arguments:

given Transformer.Mode.Accumulating[[A] =>> Either[List[String], A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.Accumulating.either[String, List]

val customAccumulatingVia =
  Transformer
    .defineVia[UnvalidatedPerson](ValidatedPerson.apply)
    .fallible
    .build(
      Arg.fallibleConst(_.name, ValidatedPerson.Name.makeAccumulating("IAmAlwaysValidNow!"))
    )
// customAccumulatingVia: FallibleTransformer[[A >: Nothing <: Any] => Either[List[String], A], UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson] = repl.MdocSession$MdocApp10$$anon$49@6d5a8b06
given Transformer.Mode.FailFast[[A] =>> Either[String, A]] = 
  Transformer.Mode.FailFast.either[String]

val customFailFastVia =
  Transformer
    .defineVia[UnvalidatedPerson](ValidatedPerson.apply)
    .fallible
    .build(
      Arg.fallibleComputed(_.age, uvp => ValidatedPerson.Age.make(uvp.age + 30))
    )
// customFailFastVia: FallibleTransformer[[A >: Nothing <: Any] => Either[String, A], UnvalidatedPerson, ValidatedPerson] = repl.MdocSession$MdocApp10$$anon$51@44682ccf

A look at the generated code

To inspect the code that is generated you can use Transformer.Debug.showCode, this method will print the generated code at compile time for you to analyze and see if there's something funny going on after the macro expands.

For the sake of documentation let's also give some examples of what should be the expected output for some basic usages of ducktape.

Generated code - product transformations

Given a structure of case classes like the ones below let's examine the output that ducktape splices into your code:

import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

final case class Wrapped[A](value: A) extends AnyVal

case class Person(int: Int, str: Option[String], inside: Inside, collectionOfNumbers: Vector[Float])
case class Person2(int: Wrapped[Int], str: Option[Wrapped[String]], inside: Inside2, collectionOfNumbers: List[Wrapped[Float]])

case class Inside(str: String, int: Int, inside: EvenMoreInside)
case class Inside2(int: Int, str: String, inside: Option[EvenMoreInside2])

case class EvenMoreInside(str: String, int: Int)
case class EvenMoreInside2(str: String, int: Int)

val person = Person(23, Some("str"), Inside("insideStr", 24, EvenMoreInside("evenMoreInsideStr", 25)), Vector.empty)

Generated code - expansion of .to

Calling the .to method

            inside = {
              val `LowPriorityTransformerInstances_thisâ‚‚` : Transformer.type = Transformer
              new Inside2(
