FinnPic

A Scala implementation of Finnish PIC (Personal Identity Code)(“henkilötunnus” in Finnish).

See the specification here: https://vrk.fi/en/personal-identity-code1.

Usage

Construction

There is a safe way and an unsafe way to make instances of Pic.

The safe way is to use Pic.fromString, which returns instances of Either (in Scala standard library). Left(errorMessage) means that the given PIC was invalid, the error message inside tells you why. Right(pic) means the PIC was valid and now you can obtain the value from the right side of the Either. This is a very common pattern in functional programming.

Use the safe way if the PIC value (the string) is coming from a user or some other undependable source.

The safe way, used successfully on a valid PIC:

// The safe way, success:
val p = Pic.fromString("070377-281V")
// ^ p is now Right(Pic(...))

The safe way, failing:

p = Pic.fromString("foo")
// ^ p is now Left("some error message")

The unsafe way is to use Pic.fromStringUnsafe, or its alias Pic.fromStringU (which does the same thing, but is shorter to type and read). The unsafe variants return a Pic object directly on success (the PIC is valid). If the PIC is not valid, these functions throw an exception (a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException, to be more precise).

Use the unsafe way when the PIC value comes from a dependable source (for example, from a database column where you know that only valid values are stored).

val p: Pic = Pic.fromStringUnsafe("070377-281V")
// ^ p is now Pic(...)

p = Pic.fromStringUnsafe("foo")
// ^ throws IllegalArgumentException

// There is also Pic.fromStringU, which is just an
// alias for Pic.fromStringUnsafe.
