world-common

world-common provides foundational utilities used across all world modules. Whilst typically consumed as a transitive dependency through the Locale or Money modules, it exposes useful abstractions for formatting and common operations.

Dependency Resolution

libraryDependencies += "africa.shuwari" %% "world-common" % ""

Module Contents

Formatting Abstraction

The world.format.Formatter trait provides a consistent interface for converting types to string representations.

See Formatting Guide for detailed documentation.

Utilities

Common utility functions and types used across modules.

See Utilities Guide for detailed documentation.

Key Types

• world.format.Formatter - Generic formatting interface
• Utility functions for common operations

Design Goals

The Common module is designed with these principles:

1. Minimal Dependencies - No external dependencies beyond Scala standard library
2. Cross-Platform - Identical behaviour on JVM, JS, and Native
3. Type Safety - Leverage Scala's type system for compile-time guarantees
4. Composability - Small, focused abstractions that compose naturally

• Utilities Guide - Explore common utilities
• API Reference - Complete API documentation

Platform Support

The Common module supports:

• JVM - Scala
• Scala.js -
• Scala Native -

All features work identically across platforms.
