Let's say I have the following enum defined:
import enumeratum._
import enumeratum.EnumEntry.Lowercase
import scala.collection.immutable
sealed trait Day extends EnumEntry with Lowercase
object Day extends Enum[Day]{
case object MON extends Day
case object TUE extends Day
case object WED extends Day
/* ... */
override def values: immutable.IndexedSeq[Day] = findValues
}
println(Day.Mon) // MON, but I would like to see mon instead
println(Day.Mon.entryName) // mon
I would like to override Day.toString
to return the entry name instead of class name.
But seems that it is not so intuitive.
What I have tried:
- Manually override
toString
to returnentryName
:
sealed trait Day extends EnumEntry with Lowercase {
override def toString: String = entryName
}
But it produces StackOverflowError (related to lazy val):
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError

- Specify which exactly
super
method to use:
sealed trait Day extends EnumEntry with Lowercase {
override def toString: String = super[Lowercase].entryName
}
But still SOE.
- I know it is possible with manually overriding entry name but it requires writing boilerplate code:
abstract class Day(override val entryName: String) extends EnumEntry {
override def toString: String = entryName
}
object Day extends Enum[Day]{
case object MON extends Day("mon")
case object TUE extends Day("tue")
case object WED extends Day("wed")
/* ... */
override def values: immutable.IndexedSeq[Day] = findValues
}
- It works well with
StringEnum
but again, I will need to write boilerplate code for literals.
