Getting Started

Adding to your project

And if you're in a hurry, you can include them in your build like this:

"com.rethinkscala" %% "core" % "0.4.6"  
"com.rethinkscala" %% "core" % "0.4.7-SNAPSHOT" 

Be sure to add the repository as well

"RethinkScala Repository" at "http://kclay.github.io/releases" 
"RethinkScala Repository" at "http://kclay.github.io/snapshots" 

#Imports Rethinkscala has two query modes, Blocking and Async and provide the ability to switch between them at any time for whatever reason. Anywhere you would like to use rethinkscala be sure to include one of the following imports:

import com.rethinkscala.Blocking._
// or
import com.rethinkscala.Async._

This will include all helper function as well as all implicits to make writing rql a breeze.

Starting with 0.4.7-SNAPSHOT you can import an experimental feature which will provide a more functional way of working with query results (Try)

import com.rethinkscala.Blocking.functional._

case class CastBean(name:String,values:List[Int])

var table = r.tableAs[CastBean]("cast")
table.insert(CastBean("foo",List(1,2,3,4))).run

val values = table(0) \ "values"

var results:Try[Seq[Int]] = values.toSeq[Int].run

This will allow you to use for comprehension

Setting up connection

If you are using rethinkdb 1.15+ you should use the json protocol, to set this up create a connection as so

val version = new Version3(host, port) // for not auth
val version = new Version3(host,port,authKey = "foobar") // for auth

You may also set the default database by passing db or even set the max connections by passing maxConnections (default = 5)
