这是一个可见性问题,在声明隐式 Writes[Foo] 时,您不会使其隐式 Writes[Bar] 可见:
scala> :paste
// Entering paste mode (ctrl-D to finish)
import play.api.libs.json._
case class Bar(x: String, y: Int)
object Bar {
implicit val implicitBarWrites = new Writes[Bar] {
def writes(bar: Bar): JsValue = {
Json.obj(
"x" -> bar.x,
"y" -> bar.y
)
}
}
}
case class Foo(id: String, bar: Bar)
object Foo {
import Bar._
implicit val implicitFooWrites = new Writes[Foo] {
def writes(foo: Foo): JsValue = {
Json.obj(
"id" -> foo.id,
"bar" -> foo.bar
)
}
}
}
// Exiting paste mode, now interpreting.
import play.api.libs.json._
defined class Bar
defined module Bar
defined class Foo
defined module Foo
scala> Json.prettyPrint(Json.toJson(Foo("23", Bar("x", 1))))
res0: String =
{
"id" : "23",
"bar" : {
"x" : "x",
"y" : 1
}
}
此外,如果您使用的是 Play 2.1+,请务必查看 2.10 宏的全新用法:http ://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.1.0/ScalaJsonInception
如果您对案例类的使用感到满意,并且 val/vars 的名称被用作 json 输出中的键,就像您的案例 BTW 一样,那么您可以使用两个单行:
implicit val barFormat = Json.writes[Bar]
implicit val fooFormat = Json.writes[Foo]
这将为您提供确切的等价物:
scala> import play.api.libs.json._
import play.api.libs.json._
scala> case class Bar(x: String, y: Int)
defined class Bar
scala> case class Foo(id: String, bar: Bar)
defined class Foo
scala> implicit val barWrites = Json.writes[Bar]
barWrites: play.api.libs.json.OWrites[Bar] = play.api.libs.json.OWrites$$anon$2@257cae95
scala> implicit val fooWrites = Json.writes[Foo]
fooWrites: play.api.libs.json.OWrites[Foo] = play.api.libs.json.OWrites$$anon$2@48f97e2a
scala> Json.prettyPrint(Json.toJson(Foo("23", Bar("x", 1))))
res0: String =
{
"id" : "23",
"bar" : {
"x" : "x",
"y" : 1
}
}
