Question

I am keeping one string value in a class file. I want to get this string in another scala main function. How do i get the string abc in main scala code.

package integration.utils


object schemaStructure  {

  class schemaStruct {

    def schemaJson: String =
      """
                  map<
                    string,
                    struct<
                        path:string,
                        type:string,
                        optional:string,
                        defaultValue:string
                    >
                  >
                """

  }
}

schemaJson can now be just a val, not def.

schemaJson seems to be just a constant now, you can reference it without instantiating a class.

You can keep it in an object, for example lifting it a level above

package integration.utils

object schemaStructure  {
  val schemaJson: String = """..."""
}

import integration.utils.schemaStructure

schemaStructure.schemaJson

or

import integration.utils.schemaStructure._

schemaJson

Or you can put it into companion object of class

package integration.utils

object schemaStructure  {

  class schemaStruct // do you need this class?

  object schemaStruct {
    val schemaJson: String = """..."""
  }
}

import integration.utils.schemaStructure

schemaStructure.schemaStruct.schemaJson

or

import integration.utils.schemaStructure.schemaStruct._

schemaJson

Surely, you can keep a val in a class, then you'll have to instantiate the class like you did. Or you can put a val in a trait and extend the trait.
