Question

Is it possible to use Lift’s CSS Selector Transforms together with DispatchSnippet? It does not seem to work for me.

Answer 1

Answering my own question… yeah, it is possible! My problem was the following: Snippet methods have to be of the type NodeSeq => NodeSeq but CSS Transformations return a () => CSSSel. A CSSSel is itself NodeSeq => NodeSeq, so the CSS Transformation is () => (NodeSeq => NodeSeq).

That means, in order to use it with DispatchSnippet it must be referenced like this in the dispatcher:

def dispatch: DispatchIt = {
  case "method1" => normalSnippetMethod _
  case "method2" => cssTransform // no _ !
}

Basically, I just had an extra _ sign at the end.
