  1. SBT Build tool for Scala based projects Scala based frameworks

    like Akka uses it SBT build definition uses scala based DSL Incremental compilation Works with mixed Scala and Java based projects
  2. SBT: Lets create a project SBT Installation download jar and

    create a script Instructions: xsbt wiki Descend in directory where you wanna create the project In terminal type sbt Once the sbt is started enter following commands set name := “ScalaKnolx” set version := “1.0” set scalaVersion := “2.9.1” session save exit Open build.sbt and have a look!!
  3. SBT: Eclipse IDE Add Typesafe repo and sbteclipse plugin In

    build.sbt resolvers += "Typesafe Repository" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/" libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "1.6.1" libraryDependencies += "junit" % "junit" % "4.9" Create project/plugins.sbt and add sbteclipse plugin addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.0.0") Execute sbt eclipse It will generate eclipse related configs and now we are ready to import this project in eclipse!!
  4. Scala Introduction Scala is a JVM based language Scala combines

    FP and OO which makes it a scalable language Scala has a REPL Scala is interoperable with Java
  5. Scala is a scripting language It has a REPL. Types

    can be inferred Less Boilerplate Scala> var capital = Map(“US” → “Washington”, “France” → “Paris”) Capital: Map[String, String] = Map(US-> Washington, France->Paris) Scala> capital += (“japan” → “Tokyo”) Scala> capital(“France”) Res2: String = Paris
  6. Scala is OO Every value is an object Every operation

    is method call Exceptions to this in java like statics and primitives are removed Scala> (1).hashCode Res1: Int = 1 Scala> (1).+(2) Res2: Int = 3
  7. Scala compared to Java Scala adds Scala removes + pure

    object system - static members + operator overloading - primitive types + closures - break, continue + mixin composition with traits - special treatment of interfaces + existential types - wildcards + abstract types - raw types + pattern matching - enums
  8. Scala cheat sheet (1): Definitions Scala method definitions def fun(x:

    Int) = { result } def fun = result Scala variable definitions var x: Int = expression val x: String = expression Java method definitions Int fun(int x) { return result } (no parameterless methods) Java variable definitions Int x = expression final String x = expression
  9. Scala cheat sheet (2): Definitions Scala Class and Object class

    Sample(x: Int, p: Int) { def instMeth(y: Int): Int = x + y } object Sample { def staticMeth(x: Int, y: Int): Int = x * y } Java method definitions class Sample { private final int x; public final int p; Sample(int x, int p) { this.x = x; this.p = p; } int instMeth(int y) { return x + y; } static int staticMeth(int x, int y) { return x * y; } }
  10. Scala cheat sheet (3): Traits Scala Trait trait T {

    var field = “!” def abstractMth(x: Int): Int def concMth(x: String) = x + field } Scala mixin composition class C extends Super with T Java Interface Interface T { Int abstractMth(String x) } (no concrete methods) (no fields) Java extension plus implementation class C extends Super implements T
  11. Scala HOF Scala is also FP along-with OO This means

    that Function is also an Object They can be passed along as objects private def higherOrderFunction(f: Int => Int, x: Int): Int = { f(x) + 1 }
  12. Scala Pattern Match All that is required is to add

    case keyword to each class that is to be pattern matchable Similar to switch except that Scala compares objects as expressions getInteger(4) match { case 4 => println("four") case _ => println("not four") } def getInteger(x: Int): Int = { x }
  13. Scala Traits They are fundamental unit of code reuse in

    Scala They encapsulates method and field definitions, which can be reused by mixing them in classes Unlike class inheritance a class can mix any number of traits Unlike Interfaces they can have concrete methods
  14. Scala Collections Class Person(val name: String, age: Int) val people:

    Array[Person] val(minors, adults) = people partition (_.age < 18) Three concepts: - pattern mach - infix method call - a function value
  15. Scala way of Collections De-emphasize destructive updates Focus on transformers

    that map collections to collections Have complete range of persistent collections
  16. Collection Properties Object-Oriented Generic: List[T], Map[K, V] Optionally persistent: scala.collections.immutable

    Higher order: methods like foreach, map, filter Uniform return type principle: operations return same type as their left operand
  17. Uniform Return Type Principle scala> val ys = List(1,2,3) ys:

    List[Int] = List(1,2,3) scala> val xs: Seq[Int] = ys xs: Seq[Int] = List(1,2,3) scala> xs map(_ + 1) res0: Seq[Int] = List(2,3,4) scala> ys map(_ + 1) res1: List[Int] = List(2,3,4)
  18. Using Collections: Map and Filter scala> val xs = List(1,2,3)

    xs: List[Int] = List(1,2,3) scala> val ys = xs map (x => x + 1) xs: List[Int] = List(2,3,4) scala> val ys = xs map(_ + 1) ys: List[Int] = List(2,3,4) scala> val zs = ys filter (_ % 2 == 0) zs: List[Int] = List(2,4) scala> val as = ys map (0 to _) as: List[scala.collection.immutable.Range.Inclusive] = List(Range(0,1), Range(0,1,2), Range(0,1,2,3))
  19. Using Collections: flatMap and groupBy scala> val bs = as.flatten

    bs: List[Int] = List(0,1,0,1,2,0,1,2,3) scala> val bs = ys flatMap(0 to _) bs: List[Int] = List(0,1,0,1,2,0,1,2,3) scala> val fruit = Vector(“apples”, “oranges”, “ananas”) fruit: scala.collection.immutable.Vector[java.lang.String] = Vector(“apples”, “oranges”, “ananas”) scala> fruit groupBy (_.head) res2: scala.collection.immutable.Map[char, scala.collection.immutable.Vector[java.lang.String]] = Map(a-> Vector(apples, ananas), o -> Vector(oranges))
  20. Using Collections: for notation scala> for(x ← xs) yield x

    + 1 // map res0: Seq[Int] = List(2,3,4) scala> for(x ← res0 if x % 2 == 0) yield x // filter res1: Seq[Int] = List(2,4) scala> for(x ← xs; y ← 0 to x) yield y // flatMap res2: Seq[Int] = List(0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 3)
  21. String also a collection scala> val aString = “hello world”

    aString: java.lang.String = hello world scala> aString map (_.toUpper) res1: String = HELLO WORLD Even String is a collection that means that we can apply higher order functions on it
  22. Using Maps scala> val m = Map(1 → “ABC”, 2

    → “DEF”, 3 → “GHI”) m: scala.collection.immutable.Map[Int, java.lang.String] = Map(1 → ABC, 2 → DEF, 3 → GHI) scala> m(2) res1: java.lang.String = DEF scala> m + (4 → “JKL”) res2: scala.collection.immutable.Map[Int, java.lang.String] = Map(1 → ABC, 2 → DEF, 3 → GHI, 4 → JKL) scala> m map {case (k, v) => (v, k)} res2: scala.collection.immutable.Map[java.lang.String, Int] = Map(ABC → 1, DEF → 2, GHI → 3)
  23. Scala Collection Hierarchy All collection classes are in scala.collection or

    one of its sub- packages mutable, immutable and generic Root collections are in scala.collection define same interface as immutable collections and mutable collections add some modification operations to make it mutable The generic package contains building block for implementing collections
  24. Commonality In Collections All classes are quite common. For instance

    every collection can be created by same uniform syntax Set(1, 2, 3) Seq(1, 2, 3) Traversable(1, 2, 3) Map(“x” → 24, “y” → 25) Applies with specific collection implementations List(1, 2, 3) HashMap(“x” → 24, “y” → 25) All these collections get displayed with toString in same way
  25. Trait Traversable Top of Collection Hierarchy. Its abstract method is

    foreach: def foreach[U](f: Elem => U) Traversable also provides lot of concrete methods they fall in following categories
  26. Everything is a library Collections feel that they are language

    constructs Language does not contain any collection related constructs - no collection types - no collection literals - no collection operators Everything is in library They are extensible
  27. Scala Test Scala Test is an open source framework for

    Java platform With ScalaTest we can test either Scala or Java code Integrates with popular tools like jUnit, TestNG, Ant, Maven and SBT Designed to do different styles of testing like Behavior Driven Design for example
  28. Scala Test Concepts Three concepts: Suite: A collection of tests.

    A test is anything which has a name and can succeed or fail Runner: ScalaTest provides a runner application and can run a suite of tests Reporter: As the tests are run, events are fired to reporter, it takes care of presenting results back to user
  29. Scala Test Is Customizable Suite <<trait>> def expectedTestCount(Filter: Int) def

    testNames: Set[String] def tags: Map[String, Set[String]] def nestedSuites: List[Suite] def run(Option[String], Reporter, …) def runNestedSuites(Reporter, …) def runTests(Option[String]), Reporter def runTest(Reporter, …) def withFixture(NoArgTest)
  30. Scala Test: under the hood When you run a Test

    in Scala Test you basically invoke run(Option[String], Reporter, …) on Suite object It then calls runNestedSuites(Reporter, …) And it calls runTests(Option[String], Reporter, …) runNestedSuites(Reporter, …): Invokes nestedSuites(): List[Suite] to get a list of nested suites runTests(Option[String], Reporter, …) will call def testNames: Set[String] to get set of test names to run. For each test it calls runTest(Reporter, …) It wraps the test code as a Function object with a name and passes it to the withFixture(NoArgTest) which actually runs the test
  31. Suite Traits approach to writing tests. Create classes extending Suite

    and define test methods Test methods have names testXXXX. All methods must be public Scala Test provides === operator. It is defined in Trait Assertions. Allows the failure report to include both right and left values
  32. FunSuite For writing Functional Tests use FunSuite Fun => functional

    “test” is a method defined in FunSuite Trait. Test name goes in parentheses and test body goes in curly braces The test code in curly braces is passed as a by-name parameter to “test” method which registers for later execution
  33. Assignment Lets map the world. We have Continents and Countries

    Make a Collection hierarchy to hold the above information Write method on the collection hierarchy to get countries of a continent Write method on the collection hierarchy to get continent for a country Write tests using FunSuite to test the methods created above
