Scala REPL startup command line

Question

When I start the Scala REPL, is there a way to put Scala code or source files on the command line to automatically run? I would like to have some imports done automatically (on the command line in a bash script) at startup for user convenience.

Answer 1

Instead of Scala REPL use Ammonite . It is much better than the Scala REPL.

The best part about ammonite is that you can create a file called predef.sc under ~/.ammonite folder. Here you can specify SBT dependencies like interp.load.ivy("joda-time" % "joda-time" % jodaVersion) and also imports like import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global

Now each time you start the ammonite REPL you have all SBT dependencies and imports already present. How cool is that.
