Hide Scala generated case class methods in the IntelliJ UML Diagram?

Question

I have defined a case class SimpleChangeLog like so:

case class SimpleChangeLog(
  createdAt: Instant,
  createdBy: Member,
  updatedAt: Instant,
  updatedBy: Member,
)

Since it is a case class, Scala generates additional methods like apply and tupled behind the scenes automatically. This is great, because I don't have to see them and instead I can focus on the actual domain that SimpleChangeLog describes!

The only issue is when I want to visualize this using IntelliJ's UML Diagrams:

Suddenly all of those automatically generated "hidden" methods are in plain view and not in a good way. They pollute the diagram with noise that is irrelevant to the actual SimpleChangeLog model.

How can I get IntelliJ's UML diagram to show my case class properties like createdBy but hide the automatically generated ones like tupled ?

Answer 1

I am fairly certain that this feature is not available as of IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1.1, built May 10, 2022

The only workaround I am aware of – which no doubt is impossible in most cases – is to use trait or class in place of a case class .

There is a ticket open on the IntelliJ Scala Plugin for adding this functionality.

If you too would like to see this feature added to IntelliJ, you can vote on that ticket.
