Using Akka HTTP parameters with dashes in their names

Question

I have some query parameters that have dashes in their names. When I attempt to write anything like

parameter('name-with-dash.as[String])

...it doesn't recognize anything after the first dash as being part of the parameter name.

Adding extra single quotes doesn't solve the problem:

parameter(''name-with-dash'.as[String])

Using double quotations around the name-with-dashes doesn't fix the problem either, I just get an expected ')' message where the ' normally is at the front.

parameter('"name-with-dash".as[String])

If I ignore the single quote at the beginning, intellij doesn't show any errors but I get a compilation error that looks like this:

Error:(27, 17) type mismatch; found : String("Name-With-Dash")
required: ?{def as: ?} Note that implicit conversions are not applicable because they are ambiguous:
 both method _string2NR in trait ToNameReceptacleEnhancements of type(string: String)akka.http.scaladsl.common.NameReceptacle[String]
 and method validateModel in object SomeObject of type (value: String)akka.http.scaladsl.server.Directive1[String]
 are possible conversion functions from String("Name-With-Dash") to ?{def as: ?}
      parameter("Name-With-Dash".as[String]).flatMap(p => provide[SomeIdentifier](SomeIdentifier(p))) |

FIXED:

This was fixed using the following form

parameter("name-with-dash")

ie. with only double quotes and no .as[String]

Answer 1

A simple

parameter("name-with-dash".as[String])

works for me
