Get default case class arguments via Shapeless












2















Does shapeless provide a type class/macro that summons a HList containing the default values for all parameters of a case class?



Let's say we have this case class:



case class User(name: String, age: Int = 18)


Then I would like to get such a HList:



None :: Some(() => 18) :: HNil

          Default parameters is implemented over synthetic methods.
          Try it trait. https://github.com/milessabin/shapeless/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/shapeless/default.scala



          import shapeless.Default

          case class User(name: String, age: Int = 18)
          val d = Default[User]
          println(d())


          Out:



          None :: Some(18) :: HNil

          • Default values get compiled to methods that produce the value. In my example scala would create a method that returns 18. I thought shapeless may provide references to those methods. I've tried to implement such a macro on my own but I did not find an api that allows the macro writer to somehow get those generated methods even though it should theoretically be possible...
