playframework/play-slick

This system is the Slick database integration module for the Play Framework, providing a bridge between Play's dependency injection and the Slick ORM. It manages database configuration, connection lifecycle, and lazy initialization through centralized settings and Guice bindings. The module also includes an adapter for the evolutions system to handle database schema migrations and connection management correctly.

The project's build structure has been reorganized into dedicated Scala files (Common, Dependencies, Omnidoc, Playdoc) to improve modularity. This change introduces new sbt AutoPlugins: Common sets test execution settings, Omnidoc adds source URL metadata to JAR manifests for documentation linking, and Playdoc handles the packaging of Play documentation artifacts. Dependency management is now centralized in Dependencies.scala, defining specific versions for Slick (3.6.1), H2 (2.5.252), and Play (via the interplay plugin), while plugins.sbt configures the sbt-plugin, play-docs-sbt-plugin, sbt-scalafmt, sbt-mima-plugin, and sbt-ci-release.

The evolutions module now includes a new EvolutionsModule and DBApiAdapter that bridges Play's standard DBApi interface to the Slick database configuration. This allows the evolutions system to correctly read database URLs and manage connections (including autocommit and transaction isolation) directly from Slick's data sources, resolving issues where connection leaks or ambiguous configurations previously occurred.

The core database access API has been restructured to rely on dependency injection via the new \SlickApi\ and \DatabaseConfigProvider\ traits, replacing the previous global \Play.current\ lookups. Configuration is now centralized in \reference.conf\ under \play.slick.db\, and database instances are initialized lazily to prevent early initialization errors. Deprecated global accessors have been removed in favor of injecting \DatabaseConfigProvider\ (optionally named via \@NamedDatabase\) or accessing \SlickApi\ directly, ensuring cleaner lifecycle management and shutdown hooks for database connections.

The repository has been reorganized to align with Play Framework standards: the project is now published under the \org.playframework\ Maven group ID, the default branch has been renamed to \main\, and the license has been standardized to Apache 2.0. Additionally, the codebase is now formatted using scalafmt version 3.11.5, and the README has been updated with comprehensive version compatibility matrices and community badges.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Added test utility for accessing Play reference configuration; Added tests for DBApiAdapter autocommit behavior and EvolutionsModule DI bindings; Added unit tests for Slick database integration components.

The build configuration has been updated to target Play 2.8.0-M2 and Scala 2.13.18, with the default Scala version set to 2.13. This change also configures the project to compile against Java 17 and enables binary compatibility checks (MiMa) against version 6.1.0 to ensure API stability for upcoming releases.
