Miciah Masters e0b751bee3 Avoid non-idempotent use of push in init code
Replace push with add-to-list in layer init functions and related code.

Modify spacemacs|add-toggle to check for and update an existing toggle in
spacemacs-toggles and only create a new toggle if none already existed.

Replace a conditional push onto erc-packages with use of :toggle.

When initializing which-key, set which-key-replacement-alist to its default
or customized setting before adding all the Spacemacs replacements.  We
want to keep the stock replacements but avoid adding duplicates of the
Spacemacs replacements.

Replace the emacs-lisp-mode-hook lambda with a named function to avoid
adding duplicate hooks (which can add duplicate definitions of the
evil-surround pair).

* Description
This layer adds support for the Scala language to Spacemacs.
** Features:
- Syntax highlighting
- Auto-completion
- Syntax-checking
- Refactoring
- Incremental compilation
- Scala Repl
- Style linting
- Eldoc integration
- Test execution directly from emacs
- Automatic replacement of ASCII arrows with unicode ones
- Automatic starting/stopping of [[https://ensime.github.io/][ENSIME]] IDE server
* Layer Installation
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =scala= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
Then, you should modify your =~/.spacemacs= to use the recommended Ensime
version (Stable). Please add the following lines to =dotspacemacs/user-init=:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'configuration-layer-elpa-archives '("melpa-stable" . "stable.melpa.org/packages/"))
(add-to-list 'package-pinned-packages '(ensime . "melpa-stable"))
#+END_SRC
* Ensime
[[https://ensime.github.io/][ENSIME]] provides IDE-like features, such as refactoring, incremental compilation
and project-wide type-checking.
ENSIME requires a configuration file at the root of each Scala project. It
provides an SBT plugin, a gradle plugin and others (see [[https://ensime.github.io/build_tools/][ensime.org]] for a full
list) to generate these files.
Installation instructions and usage can be found in the =Java= layer
[[https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/develop/layers/%2Blang/java/README.org#ensime][README.org]].
* Scalastyle
[[http://www.scalastyle.org/][Scalastyle]] provides style-checking and linting. The Emacs functionality is
provided by Flycheck.
To use scalastyle, it must be present as an executable in your =PATH=.
- OSX users: =brew install scalastyle=
- Linux, please see http://www.scalastyle.org/command-line.html
To test if =scalastyle= executable is in your path, run =scalastyle= in a new
terminal, it should output something like:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
$ scalastyle
scalastyle 0.8.0
Usage: scalastyle [options] <source directory>
...
#+END_SRC
Finally, enable the =syntax-checking= layer and set the =flycheck-scalastylerc=
variable to a valid location.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default flycheck-scalastylerc "/usr/local/etc/scalastyle_config.xml")
#+END_SRC
See the [[http://www.flycheck.org/en/latest/languages.html?highlight=scala#syntax-checker-scala-scalastyle][flycheck documentation]] and [[http://www.scalastyle.org/configuration.html][scalastyle configuration]] for up-to-date
configuration instructions.
** Use Java doc-style
To enable =java-doc-style=, set the variable =scala-indent:use-javadoc-style= to
=t=
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(scala :variables scala-indent:use-javadoc-style t)))
#+END_SRC
* Automatically show the type of the symbol under the cursor
To enable the feature =ensime-type-at-point= when cursor moves, set the
variable =scala-enable-eldoc= to =t=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(scala :variables scala-enable-eldoc t)))
#+END_SRC
Enabling this option can cause slow editor performance.
* Automatically insert asterisk in multiline comments
To insert a leading asterisk in multiline comments automatically, set the
variable =scala-auto-insert-asterisk-in-comments= to =t=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(scala :variables scala-auto-insert-asterisk-in-comments t)))
#+END_SRC
* Automatically replace arrows with unicode ones
To replace ~=>~, =->= and =<-= with unicode arrows =⇒=, =→= and =←=, set the
variable =scala-use-unicode-arrows= to =t=.
If in some occasions you don't want the arrows replaced (for example when
defining compound operators like ~=>>~), you can always undo the change and get
the ascii arrows back.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(scala :variables scala-use-unicode-arrows t)))
#+END_SRC
* Auto-start
If you prefer to have Ensime start when you load a scala file, you can enable it
with
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(scala :variables scala-auto-start-ensime t)))
#+END_SRC
* Key bindings
All ensime key bindings are listed in the =java= layer [[https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/develop/layers/%2Blang/java/README.org#ensime-key-bindings][README.org]].
