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 0.2.x

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" % "0.2.5"

// or if you're using Scala.js or Scala Native

Motivating example

ducktape is all about painlessly transforming between similiarly structured case classes/enums/sealed traits:

import java.time.Instant
import io.github.arainko.ducktape.*

// imagine this is a wire model of some kind - JSON, protobuf, avro, what have you...
object wire {
  final case class Person(
    firstName: String,
    lastName: String,
    paymentMethods: List[wire.PaymentMethod],
    status: wire.Status,
    updatedAt: Option[Instant],
  )

  enum Status:
    case Registered, PendingRegistration, Removed

  enum PaymentMethod:
    case Card(name: String, digits: Long, expires: Instant)
    case PayPal(email: String)
    case Cash
}

object domain {
  final case class Person( // <-- fields reshuffled 
    lastName: String,
    firstName: String,
    status: Option[domain.Status], // <-- 'status' in the domain model is optional
    paymentMethods: Vector[domain.Payment], // <-- collection type changed from a List to a Vector
    updatedAt: Option[Instant],
  )

  enum Status:
    case Registered, PendingRegistration, Removed
    case PendingRemoval // <-- additional enum case

  enum Payment:
    case Card(name: String, digits: Long, expires: Instant)
    case PayPal(email: String)
    case Cash
}

val wirePerson: wire.Person = wire.Person(
  "John",
  "Doe",
  List(
    wire.PaymentMethod.Cash,
    wire.PaymentMethod.PayPal("[email protected]"),
    wire.PaymentMethod.Card("J. Doe", 12345, Instant.now)
  ),
  wire.Status.PendingRegistration,
  Some(Instant.ofEpochSecond(0))
)
val domainPerson = wirePerson.to[domain.Person]
// domainPerson: Person = Person(
//   lastName = "Doe",
//   firstName = "John",
//   status = Some(value = PendingRegistration),
//   paymentMethods = Vector(
//     Cash,
//     PayPal(email = "[email protected]"),
//     Card(
//       name = "J. Doe",
//       digits = 12345L,
//       expires = 2024-03-10T00:21:33.860394305Z
//     )
//   ),
//   updatedAt = Some(value = 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)
// )

  (({
    val paymentMethods$2: Vector[Payment] = MdocApp.this.wirePerson.paymentMethods
      .map[Payment]((src: PaymentMethod) =>
        if (src.isInstanceOf[Card])
          new Card(
            name = src.asInstanceOf[Card].name,
            digits = src.asInstanceOf[Card].digits,
            expires = src.asInstanceOf[Card].expires
          )
        else if (src.isInstanceOf[PayPal]) new PayPal(email = src.asInstanceOf[PayPal].email)
        else if (src.isInstanceOf[Cash.type]) MdocApp.this.domain.Payment.Cash
        else throw new RuntimeException("Unhandled case. This is most likely a bug in ducktape.")
      )
      .to[Vector[Payment]](iterableFactory[Payment])
    val status$2: Some[Status] = Some.apply[Status](
      if (MdocApp.this.wirePerson.status.isInstanceOf[Registered.type]) MdocApp.this.domain.Status.Registered
      else if (MdocApp.this.wirePerson.status.isInstanceOf[PendingRegistration.type])
        MdocApp.this.domain.Status.PendingRegistration
      else if (MdocApp.this.wirePerson.status.isInstanceOf[Removed.type]) MdocApp.this.domain.Status.Removed
      else throw new RuntimeException("Unhandled case. This is most likely a bug in ducktape.")
    )
    new Person(
      lastName = MdocApp.this.wirePerson.lastName,
      firstName = MdocApp.this.wirePerson.firstName,
      status = status$2,
      paymentMethods = paymentMethods$2,
      updatedAt = MdocApp.this.wirePerson.updatedAt
    )
  }: Person): Person)

But now imagine that your wire model differs ever so slightly from your domain model, maybe the wire model's PaymentMethod.Card doesn't have the name field for some inexplicable reason...

object wire {
  final case class Person(
    firstName: String,
    lastName: String,
    paymentMethods: List[wire.PaymentMethod],
    status: wire.Status,
    updatedAt: Option[Instant],
  )

  enum Status:
    case Registered, PendingRegistration, Removed

  enum PaymentMethod:
    case Card(digits: Long, expires: Instant) // <-- poof, 'name' is gone
    case PayPal(email: String)
    case Cash
}

val wirePerson: wire.Person = wire.Person(
  "John",
  "Doe",
  List(
    wire.PaymentMethod.Cash,
    wire.PaymentMethod.PayPal("[email protected]"),
    wire.PaymentMethod.Card(12345, Instant.now)
  ),
  wire.Status.PendingRegistration,
  Some(Instant.ofEpochSecond(0))
)

...and when you try to transform between these two representations the compiler now yells at you.

val domainPerson = wirePerson.to[domain.Person]
// error:
// No field 'name' found in MdocApp0.this.wire.PaymentMethod.Card @ Person.paymentMethods.element.at[MdocApp0.this.domain.Payment.Card].name
// given Transformer[Int, String] = int => int.toString
//                                 ^

Now onto dealing with that, let's first examine the error message:

No field 'name' found in MdocApp0.this.wire.PaymentMethod.Card @ Person.paymentMethods.element.at[MdocApp0.this.domain.Payment.Card].name

especially the part after @:

Person.paymentMethods.element.at[MdocApp0.this.domain.Payment.Card].name

the thing above is basically a path to the field/subtype under which ducktape was not able to create a transformation, these are meant to be copy-pastable for when you're actually trying to fix the error, eg. by setting the name field to a constant value:

val domainPerson = 
  wirePerson
    .into[domain.Person]
    .transform(Field.const(_.paymentMethods.element.at[domain.Payment.Card].name, "CONST NAME"))
// domainPerson: Person = Person(
//   lastName = "Doe",
//   firstName = "John",
//   status = Some(value = PendingRegistration),
//   paymentMethods = Vector(
//     Cash,
//     PayPal(email = "[email protected]"),
//     Card(
//       name = "CONST NAME",
//       digits = 12345L,
//       expires = 2024-03-10T00:21:33.864184449Z
//     )
//   ),
//   updatedAt = Some(value = 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)
// )
