SourceCode
A Scala library providing compile-time source code metadata like file, line, and name, similar to Python's __name__ or C++'s __LINE__.
What is SourceCode?
SourceCode is a Scala library that provides compile-time source code metadata, such as file names, line numbers, and variable names, to programs at runtime. It solves the problem of manually tagging debug statements or logging with contextual information, reducing boilerplate and improving debuggability in applications like logging systems, domain-specific languages, and enumeration definitions.
Scala developers building applications that require detailed debugging, logging, or DSLs where automatic source context improves maintainability and reduces manual errors.
Developers choose SourceCode because it offers a lightweight, performant way to embed source metadata without runtime overhead, works across Scala platforms (JVM, JS, Native), and integrates seamlessly via implicits to keep code clean and expressive.
