Defining Enumeration Types
Before using enumeration fields in case classes, it is necessary to define enumeration types for gender and marital status. This involves creating enumeration objects for each type as shown below.
object Gender extends Enumeration {
val Male, Female, Other = Value
}
object MaritalStatus extends Enumeration {
val Single, Married, Divorced, Widowed = Value
}
In this example, we define enumeration objects Gender and MaritalStatus with respective values.
How to Handle Multiple Enumeration Fields in Scala Case Classes?
Enumeration types in Scala provide a convenient way to define a set of named constants, which can be particularly useful when working with predefined values.
In this article, we will explore how to effectively manage multiple enumeration fields within Scala case classes. We will cover fundamental concepts, and practical examples in details.
