Let’s say you have a class A, which exposes an old fashion, not fluent api In languages like Java, you would be stack with using this class in the old, and a very verbose way: So the cumbersome code from before looks like: That’s it. #FluentAPI #Extensionmethods

In this post i will demonstrate a nice trick to add “extension methods” for a given class. Note: The feature is based on implicit class feature and available only in Scala 2.10 A class Cat has a name and a list of kittens. in this example we add a method named “hasKittens()” to the Cat class.
