Building Applications with Scala

Overview of this book

<p>Scala is known for incorporating both object-oriented and functional programming into a concise and extremely powerful package. However, creating an app in Scala can get a little tricky because of the complexity the language has. This book will help you dive straight into app development by creating a real, reactive, and functional application. We will provide you with practical examples and instructions using a hands-on approach that will give you a firm grounding in reactive functional principles.</p> <p>The book will take you through all the fundamentals of app development within Scala as you build an application piece by piece. We’ve made sure to incorporate everything you need from setting up to building reports and scaling architecture. This book also covers the most useful tools available in the Scala ecosystem, such as Slick, Play, and Akka, and a whole lot more. It will help you unlock the secrets of building your own up-to-date Scala application while maximizing performance and scalability.</p>

Preface

Creating our controllers


Now let's move to the controllers used on the previous routes. The controllers need to be located at ReactiveWebStore/app/controllers. Controllers are bound between views (UI), models and service, which are responsible for business operations. It's always important to separate UI logic, which tends to be specific, from business logic, which tends to be more generic, and often, way more important.

Let's have a look at the product controller in ProductController.scala in the following code:

    @Singleton 
    class ProductController @Inject() (val messagesApi:MessagesApi,val 
    service:IProductService) extends Controller with I18nSupport { 
 
      val productForm: Form[Product] = Form( 
        mapping( 
          "id" -> optional(longNumber), 
          "name" -> nonEmptyText, 
          "details" -> text, 
          "price" -> bigDecimal 
        )(models.Product.apply)(models.Product.unapply)) 
...
