basic values

In the previous examples, we saw how to build a persistent object with a few String members. Of course, we can build persistent objects with other kinds of members than that. The simplest kinds are basic values, allowing you to put in members with a number of simple types:

• java.lang.String
• org.joda.time.DateTime
• scala.Boolean
• scala.Char
• scala.Double
• scala.Float
• scala.Int
• scala.Long

For example, we might add a few fields to our User like so:

import longevity.model.annotations.persistent
import org.joda.time.DateTime

@persistent[DomainModel]
case class User(
  username: String,
  firstName: String,
  lastName: String,
  dateJoined: DateTime,
  numCats: Int,
  accountSuspended: Boolean = false)
