Scala: curried constructors

Question

I have the following Scala class:

class Person(var name : String, var age : Int, var email : String)

I would like to use the Person constructor as a curried function:

def mkPerson = (n : String) => (a : Int) => (e : String) => new Person(n,a,e)

This works, but is there another way to accomplish this? This approach seems a bit tedious and error-prone. I could imagine something like Function.curried, but then for constructors.

Answer 1

Hi Chris!

may be so:

val mkPerson = Function.curried((n: String,a:Int,e:String) => new Person (n,a,e))

Answer 2

This will work:

def mkPerson = (new Person(_, _, _)).curried
