Scala higher order function issue - scala

Question

My aim: To minimize lines of code.
Have a few function like f1, f2 ...
f1(A: String)
f2(A: String, B: Long, C: User)
Want to process it with high order function approach.
def processf1(request: Request[AnyContent], f: (String) => String)
def processf2(request: Request[AnyContent], f: (String, Long, User) => String) = {...}
Can I create ONE common process function for f1, f2 ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Answer 1

You could parametrize processf types:
def processf[S,T](request: Request[S], f: T => String) = ...
Examples of use:
processf(new Request[Int], (x: String) => x)
processf(new Request[Int], (x: (String, Long, User)) => x._1)

Answer 2

Thanks for the answer, but not so clear for me, could please clarify
for example 3 function which have duplicate like RequestUtil.getRequestParams
private def regUser(request: Request[AnyContent], f: (String) => String): String = {
RequestUtil.getRequestParams(request, APPConst.USER) match {
case Some(map) => f(map(APPConst.USER))
case None => JsonUtil.toJson(APPConst.ERROR -> APPConst.POST_PARAMS_EMPTY_MISMATCH)
}
}
private def regDog(request: Request[AnyContent], f: (Dog, Enum, String, String) => String): String = {
RequestUtil.getRequestParams(request, APPConst.Dog) match {
case Some(m) => process(m, f)
case None => JsonUtil.toJson(APPConst.ERROR -> APPConst.POST_PARAMS_EMPTY_MISMATCH)
}
}
private def regCat[T](request: Request[AnyContent], f: (Cat, Enum) => String): String = {
RequestUtil.getRequestParams(request, APPConst.CAT) match {
case Some(map) => process(map, f)
case None => JsonUtil.toJson(APPConst.ERROR -> APPConst.POST_PARAMS_EMPTY_MISMATCH)
}
}
and executions
def regUser = Action { request => Ok(views.html.index(regUserProcess(request, UserService.regUser)))}
def regDog = Action { request => Ok(views.html.index(regCurrProcess(request, UserService.regDog)))}
def regCat = Action { request => Ok(views.html.index(mainProcess(request, UserService.regCat)))}
As you can see 3 different functions with different count parameters UserService.regUser, UserService.regDog, UserService.regCat functions
