play-routes-wire

This is an ad-hoc and tiny macro project for Play Framework with MacWire. This macro automatically wires all controllers for given generated routes classes.

Motivation

If you use MacWire, you have to write as below:

// define controller
class GreeterController(greetingService: GreetingService,
                                  langs: Langs,
                                  cc: ControllerComponents) extends AbstractController(cc)

// define an application loader and a component
class GreetingApplicationLoader extends ApplicationLoader {
  def load(context: Context): Application = new GreetingComponents(context).application
}

class GreetingComponents(context: Context) extends BuiltInComponentsFromContext(context)
  with ServicesModule
  with AssetsComponents
  with I18nComponents
  with play.filters.HttpFiltersComponents {

  // wire *all* controllers
  lazy val greeterController = wire[GreeterController]

  // wire a router
  lazy val router: Router = new Routes(httpErrorHandler, greeterController, assets)
}

If you use Guice, what you have to do is only to insert @Inject() as below:

// ↓ Only this!
@Inject() class GreeterController(greetingService: GreetingService,
                                  langs: Langs,
                                  cc: ControllerComponents) extends AbstractController(cc)

It is unreasonable! Can you think the case your project has hundreds of controllers?

This macro helps to wire all controllers.

Usage

Add following code to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "com.github.hiroshi-cl" %% "play-routes-wire" % "2.8.1-0.1.0"

• Make sure that all controllers are subclass of ControllerHelpers.
• Make sure that all depending services are found in the scope.

Write as below:

class GreetingComponents(context: Context) extends BuiltInComponentsFromContext(context)
  with ServicesModule
  with AssetsComponents
  with I18nComponents
  with play.filters.HttpFiltersComponents {

  lazy val router: Router = Macro.wireRoutes[Routes](httpErrorHandler, "/")
}

• Supporting Play versions: 2.6.x, 2.7.x, 2.8.x
• Supporting MacWire versions: 2.3.x
