autoregister 0.0.6

===============

autoregister is a Scala compiler plugin that finds / discovers all classes having a specific annotations and push them in a registry.

package myframework

import autoregister.annotations._

@RegisterAllDescendentObjects(to = "ControllerRegistry.register")
trait Controller

object ControllerRegistry {
	var registered = Seq[Controller]()

	// Keep it fastest as possible
	def register(controller: Controller): Unit = {
		registered += controller
	}
}

package mymodule

import myframework._

object MyController extends Controller {
	// Don't make slow initialization or use lazy val instead of val
	// Because all registered components will be initialized 
	// at first use of ControllerRegistry
}

This scala plugin will transform ControllerRegistry like this :

package myframework

import autoregister.annotations._

@RegisterAllDescendentObjects(to = "ControllerRegistry.register")
trait Controller

object ControllerRegistry {
	var registered = Seq[Controller]()

	// Keep it fastest as possible
	def register(controller: Controller): Unit = {
		registered += controller
	}

	register(mymodule.MyController)
}

ScalaJS usage to register to raw JavaScript objects

===================================================

@JSName("Registry")
object Registry extends js.Object {
	def register(toRegister: ToRegister): Unit = js.native
}

object RegistryProxy {
	def register(toRegister: ToRegister): Unit = Registry.register(toRegister)

	// We need this proxy because registered object will be added to end of this object like this :
	// register(SimpleController)
}

@ExportAllDescendentObjects(to = "RegistryProxy.register")
trait ToRegister extends js.Object

trait Controller extends ToRegister

object SimpleController extends Controller

Some typical usage cases

========================

Angular in scalaJS

You can transform this :

object Main {
	def main() {
		Angular.module("MyModule")
			.controller(MyController)
			.service(MyService)
	}
}

object MyController extends Controller

object MyService extends Service

into

object Main {
	def main() {
		Registry.toRegisterByAngular.foldLeft(Angular.module("MyModule")) {
			(module, registerable) => registerable(module)
		} 
	}
}

trait Registerable[T] {
	def register(module: Module, t: T): Module
}

object Registerable {
	implicit object ControllerRegisterable extends Registerable[Controller] {
		override def register(module: Module, t: Controller) = module.controller(t)
	}
	implicit object ControllerRegisterable extends Registerable[Service] {
		override def register(module: Module, t: Service) = module.service(t)
	}
}

object Registry {
	var toRegisterByAngular = Seq[Module => Module]()

	def register[T:Registerable](toRegister: T): Unit = {
		toRegisterByAngular += implicitly[Registerable[T]].register(_, toRegister)
	}
}

@RegisterAllDescendentObjects(to = "Registry.register")
trait MyModuleRegister

object MyController extends Controller with MyModuleRegister

object MyService extends Service with MyModuleRegister

When you add a new controller or service, you don't need anymore to add a line in the main part (just "with MyModuleRegister" to your object). Great !

How to Use

==========

To use, add the following to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "com.iz2use" %% "autoregister" % "0.0.6" % "provided"

autoCompilerPlugins := true

addCompilerPlugin("com.iz2use" %% "autoregister" % "0.0.6")

Limitations

===========

For the first version, all registry and objects to register must be defined in the same build.

You can not have a library defining annotations with Registry and use them in your project importing this library.

To bypass this limit, you can use the @Registry annotation on a method defined on your own project :

import autoregister.annotations._

object Main {
	@Registry
	def register(any: AnyRef) : Unit {
	}

	def main() {
	}
}

ChangeLog

=========

0.0.6 - Add support for case classes and pass 3 args to register[R,T](Class[R], (T) => R, (R) => T) where R is a case class and T is a Tuple (or just a type if case class with only 1 arg)

0.0.4 - Add support for concrete classes and pass 1 arg to registerR where R is a concrete class (not abstract)

0.0.3 - Simplify by processing all annotated ancestors of each class instead of class tree manually constructed

0.0.2 - Support for annotated object or annotated trait inherited by object
