Term Inference with given and using (Scala 3 Video)

In this free Scala 3 training video, I show how to use Term Inference in Scala 3 with the given and using keywords.

If you’re familiar with implicits in Scala 2, the new given and using approach in Scala 3 replaces this use of the implicit keyword. It was believed that the implicit keyword was too overloaded in Scala 2, so it was replaced by given definitions that you create, and then using declarations as your function/method input parameters.

This video also takes a look at how to import given values in Scala 3. This approach was also updated to make it more obvious where given values are coming from; this was done to help reduce the confusion that seemed to exist in Scala 2.
