Insert imports on paste
For a long time Scala users have been deprived of conveniences offered by automatic imports insertion on code paste (which most Java-developers take as a matter of course). Now it’s time to take our revenge!
Here’s where the main switch lays:
Now we can take some code with many dependencies of different kinds:
Then select desired lines and copy them, as usual:
Afterwards, let’s paste them here:
After code insertion we have a choice to import required dependencies (those that are not already available):
Consequently, we have all needed dependencies automatically restored and thus our types, methods, packages, conversions and extractors accessible:
The same functionality also works for Java-to-Scala converted code. For instance, let’s copy foo method from the following Java snippet:
When we paste paste that method to a Scala destination we will be asked to automatically convert Java code to Scala:
After the code is automagically converted, we still have a choice to handle dependencies:
Here’s a result of the integral automation:
