# scala-macro-tools [![Build](https://github.com/jxnu-liguobin/scala-macro-tools/actions/workflows/ScalaCI.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jxnu-liguobin/scala-macro-tools/actions/workflows/ScalaCI.yml)

Motivation
--

scala macro and abstract syntax tree learning code.

# Features

## @toString

- Note
    - `verbose` Whether to enable detailed log.
    - `withFieldName` Whether to include the name of the field in the toString.
    - `withInternalField` Whether to include the fields defined within a class.
    - Support `case class` and `class`.

- Example

```scala
class TestClass(val i: Int = 0, var j: Int) {
  val y: Int = 0
  var z: String = "hello"
  var x: String = "world"
}

println(new TestClass(1, 2));
```

|withInternalField / withFieldName| false  |true
|  ---------------------------------  | ----------------------------------  |----------------------------------|
|false|```TestClass(1, 2)``` |```TestClass(i=0, j=2)```|
|true|```TestClass(1, 2, 0, hello, world)```|```TestClass(i=1, j=2, y=0, z=hello, x=world)```|

## @json

The `@json` scala macro annotation is the quickest way to add a JSON format to your Play project's case classes.

- Note
    - This annotation is drawn from [json-annotation](https://github.com/kifi/json-annotation) and have some
      optimization.
    - It can also be used when there are other annotations on the case classes.
    - Only an implicit object was generated automatically(Maybe need a companion object), and there are no other
      operations.
- Example

```scala
@json case class Person(name: String, age: Int)
```

You can now serialize/deserialize your objects using Play's convenience methods:

```scala
import play.api.libs.json._

val person = Person("Victor Hugo", 46)
val json = Json.toJson(person)
Json.fromJson[Person](json)
```

# How to use

Add library dependency

```scala
"io.github.jxnu-liguobin" %% "scala-macro-tools" % "<VERSION>"
```

Importing the library into your build system (e.g gradle, sbt), is not enough. You need to follow an extra step.

| Scala 2.11 | Scala 2.12 | Scala 2.13 |
|------------|-------------|------------|
| Import macro paradise plugin  | Import macro paradise plugin | Enable compiler flag `-Ymacro-annotations` required |

```scala
addCompilerPlugin("org.scalamacros" % "paradise_<your-scala-version>" % "<plugin-version>")
```

Where `<your-scala-version>` must be the full scala version. For example 2.12.13, and not 2.12.

If that doesn't work, google for alternatives.

In version scala`2.13.x`, the functionality of macro paradise has been included in the scala compiler directly. However,
you must still enable the compiler flag `-Ymacro-annotations`. Please see examples from `examples212` sub-project.
