I have two classes PixelObject, ImageRefObject and some more, but here are just these two classes to simplify things. They all are subclasses of a trait Object that contains an uid.
I need universal method which will copy a case class instance with a given new uid. The reason I need it because my task is to create a class ObjectRepository which will save instance of any subclass of Object and return it with new uid.
My attempt:
trait Object {
val uid: Option[String]
}
trait UidBuilder[A <: Object] {
def withUid(uid: String): A = {
this match {
case x: PixelObject => x.copy(uid = Some(uid))
case x: ImageRefObject => x.copy(uid = Some(uid))
}
}
}
case class PixelObject(uid: Option[String], targetUrl: String) extends Object with UidBuilder[PixelObject]
case class ImageRefObject(uid: Option[String], targetUrl: String, imageUrl: String) extends Object with UidBuilder[ImageRefObject]
val pix = PixelObject(Some("oldUid"), "http://example.com")
val newPix = pix.withUid("newUid")
println(newPix.toString)
but I am getting the following error:
➜ ~ scala /tmp/1.scala

case x: PixelObject => x.copy(uid = Some(uid))

two errors found
