This work arises from real-world experience working with Slick and legacy database schemas. The feelings of safety of having a database schema described in Scala are sometimes dwarfed by the pain of actually having to write and maintain the Scala mappings. This becomes obvious when building a new project with an existing database.
The code generation component is bundled with Slick. However, the documentation and default implementation show only the most trivial use-case and require a more complecated build. With every new project we have updated and expanded on the use-cases the plugin covers. Now, we would like to share what we have built and learned.
