Restrictions in trait mixing
I want to have classes that can mix only specified traits:
class Peter extends Human with Lawful with Evil
class Mag extends Elf with Chaotic with Neutral
Is in Scala a way to do this?
UPD:
trait Law
trait Lawful extends Law
trait LNeutral extends Law
trait Chaotic extends Law
trait Moral
trait Good extends Moral
trait Neutral extends Moral
trait Evil extends Moral
class Hero .........
class Homer extends Hero with Chaotic with Good
I want to define a Hero
class in a way that constrains the client programmer to mix specific traits (Lawful
/LNeutral
/Chaotic
and Good
/Neutral
/Evil
) if he extends the Hero
class. And I want to find some other possibilities to rest开发者_如何学Crict/constrain client code like this.
Tough. Try this:
scala> trait Law[T]
defined trait Law
scala> trait Lawful extends Law[Lawful]
defined trait Lawful
scala> trait Chaotic extends Law[Chaotic]
defined trait Chaotic
scala> class Peter extends Lawful with Chaotic
<console>:8: error: illegal inheritance;
class Peter inherits different type instances of trait Law:
Law[Chaotic] and Law[Lawful]
class Peter extends Lawful with Chaotic
^
If you want to make it a requirement that a Law type must be extended, then you need to to use self types in some base class or trait:
scala> class Human {
| self: Law[_] =>
| }
defined class Human
scala> class Peter extends Human
<console>:7: error: illegal inheritance;
self-type Peter does not conform to Human's selftype Human with Law[_]
class Peter extends Human
^
And there are a few further tweaks to ensure further type safety. The final result might look like this:
sealed trait Law[T <: Law[T]]
trait Lawful extends Law[Lawful]
trait LNeutral extends Law[LNeutral]
trait Chaotic extends Law[Chaotic]
sealed trait Moral[T <: Moral[T]]
trait Good extends Moral[Good]
trait Neutral extends Moral[Neutral]
trait Evil extends Moral[Evil]
class Human {
self: Law[_] with Moral[_] =>
}
Perhaps you're looking for restricting self-type declarations. E.g.:
class Human
trait Lawful
trait Lawless
class NiceGuy
extends Human
{
this: Lawful =>
}
class BadGuy
extends Human
{
this: Lawless =>
}
scala> class SuperHero extends NiceGuy
<console>:7: error: illegal inheritance;
self-type SuperHero does not conform to NiceGuy's selftype NiceGuy with Lawful
class SuperHero extends NiceGuy
^
scala> class SuperHero extends NiceGuy with Lawful
defined class SuperHero
scala> class SuperVillain extends BadGuy
<console>:7: error: illegal inheritance;
self-type SuperVillain does not conform to BadGuy's selftype BadGuy with Lawless
class SuperVillain extends BadGuy
^
scala> class SuperVillain extends BadGuy with Lawless
defined class SuperVillain
You can check in the constructor of Human
and/or Elf
if its an instance of the allowed traits:
class Human {
if (this.instanceOf[Lawful] && this.instanceOf[Chaotic])
throw new AlignmentException("A Human can only be either Lawful or Chaotic")
}
