Adopting Scaloid for your existing project

Before start using Scaloid, check your project is properly configured with Scala language.

1. Import Scaloid to your project
2. Declare import org.scaloid.common._ in your code.
3. Modify the signature of your classes

• If your class inherits Activity, change it to SActivity
• If your class inherits Service, change it to SService
• If your class (indirectly) inherits Context, add trait SContext with LoggerTag
• Otherwise, setting an implicit value is required
  implicit val ctx: Context = ...

Then, you are ready to use Scaloid.

If you want to see how Scaloid can be used in action, check a Scala port of apidemos app.

If you use other Scala versions, build the artifact as shown in the following subsection.
