Usually one would do something like this: trait MyModelJsonProtocol extends DefaultJsonProtocol { implicit val feedFormat = jsonFormat2(Feed) } object MyModelJsonProtocol extends MyModelJsonProtocol
And use it like so: trait MyHelloWorldRoute extends MyModelJsonProtocol = { val route = complete(List(Feed(...))) } Which should work AFAIR :-) -- Cheers, Konrad 'ktoso’ Malawski Akka @ Typesafe On 11 November 2015 at 14:18:57, ilya.sorokou...@gmail.com (ilya.sorokou...@gmail.com) wrote: Hi Guys, I'm trying out Akka-http on a small pet project of mine(where I'm gonna use it to implement some REST API) and I've stumbled upon an interesting problem with implicits. So, long story short it appears that I need to add an implicit Json writer for each collection-entity pair that I intend to serialize into Json. For example, in addition to: implicit val feedFormat = jsonFormat2(Feed) I need to add implicit val feedsWriter = DefaultJsonProtocol.seqFormat[Feed] so that later in the code I can simply write complete(somethingThatReturnsSeqOfFeed(...)). Otherwise, it won't compile because there is no implicit for Seq[Feed]. Did I miss something like certain import or this is indeed the expected behavior?
