ScopeProperty

A scope property is a thing which can store values locally to the current thread. Its API can be used to set/get that value, but also to apply modification to the value for a portion of the execution in a stack manner.

In other words it is a alternative to global variable, scala implicit, ThreadLocal.

• To compare with global variable, It allow to run multiple thread running the same code independently

• To compare with scala implicit, it is less intrusive in the code base

• To compare with ThreadLocal, it has some API to collect all ScopeProperty and restore them in the same state later on

object Xlen extends ScopeProperty[Int]

object ScopePropertyMiaou extends App {
  Xlen.set(1)
  println(Xlen.get) // 1
  Xlen(2) {
    println(Xlen.get) // 2
    Xlen(3) {
      println(Xlen.get) // 3
      Xlen.set(4)
      println(Xlen.get) // 4
    }
    println(Xlen.get) // 2
  }
}
