Setting Up the SBT REPL for Snowpark Scala¶

This topic explains how to set up the SBT REPL for Snowpark.

Creating a New Scala Project in sbt¶

Next, create a new Scala project for Snowpark.

Create a new directory for your project, and change to that directory.
```
mkdir snowpark_project
cd snowpark_project
```
Copy
Run the sbt new command, and specify the template that you want to use to create the new project. For example:
```
sbt new scala/hello-world.g8
```
Copy
Enter a name for your project. This creates a project directory with that name.

Configuring the sbt Project for Snowpark¶

Next, configure the project for Snowpark.

In the build.sbt file for your project, make the following changes:

If the scalaVersion setting does not match the version that you plan to use, update the setting. For example:
```
scalaVersion := "2.12.13"
```
Copy
Note that you must use a Scala version that is supported for use with the Snowpark library.
Add the Snowpark library to the list of dependencies. For example:
```
libraryDependencies += "com.snowflake" % "snowpark" % "1.14.0"
```

Add the following lines to configure the REPL:

Compile/console/scalacOptions += "-Yrepl-class-based"
Compile/console/scalacOptions += "-Yrepl-outdir"
Compile/console/scalacOptions += "repl_classes"

Copy

Verifying Your sbt Project Configuration¶

To verify that you have configured your project to use Snowpark, run a simple example of Snowpark code.

In the src/main/scala/Main.scala file, replace the contents with the code below:
```
import com.snowflake.snowpark._
import com.snowflake.snowpark.functions._

object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    // Replace the <placeholders> below.
    val configs = Map (
      "URL" -> "https://<account_identifier>.snowflakecomputing.com:443",
      "USER" -> "<user name>",
      "PASSWORD" -> "<password>",
      "ROLE" -> "<role name>",
      "WAREHOUSE" -> "<warehouse name>",
      "DB" -> "<database name>",
      "SCHEMA" -> "<schema name>"
    )
    val session = Session.builder.configs(configs).create
    session.sql("show tables").show()
  }
}
```
Copy
Note the following:
- Replace the <placeholders> with values that you use to connect to Snowflake.
- For <account_identifier>, specify your account identifier.
- If you prefer to use key pair authentication:
  - Replace PASSWORD with PRIVATE_KEY_FILE, and set it to the path to your private key file.
  - If the private key is encrypted, you must set PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_PWD to the passphrase for decrypting the private key.
  As an alternative to setting PRIVATE_KEY_FILE and PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_PWD, you can set the PRIVATEKEY property to the string value of the unencrypted private key from the private key file.
  - For example, if your private key file is unencrypted, set this to the value of the key in the file (without the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- header and footer and without the line endings).
  - Note that if the private key is encrypted, you must decrypt the key before setting it as the value of the PRIVATEKEY property.
- If you plan to create UDFs:
  - Don’t set up your object to extend the App trait. For details, see Caveat About Creating UDFs in an Object With the App Trait.
  - Don’t set up your object to extend a class or trait that is not serializable.
Change to your project directory, and run the following command to run the sample code:
```
sbt "runMain Main"
```
