DatabaseConfigProvider

Generic interface for a provider of a DatabaseConfig instance. A DatabaseConfig is Slick type that bundles a database and driver.

Usually, you shouldn't need to create instances of DatabaseConfigProvider explicitly. Rather, you should rely on dependency injection. If you don't want to use dependency injection, then use the companion object and call DatabaseConfigProvider.get.

Example

Here is an example of how you can use dependency injection to obtain an instance of DatabaseConfigProvider, for the database named default in your **application.conf**.

class Application @Inject()(protected val dbConfigProvider: DatabaseConfigProvider) {
 // ...
}

While here is an example for injecting a DatabaseConfigProvider for a database named orders in your **application.conf**.

import play.db.NamedDatabase
class Application @Inject()(@NamedDatabase("orders") protected val dbConfigProvider: DatabaseConfigProvider) {
 // ...
}
