How to convert values of a case class into Seq?

Question

I am new to Scala and I am having to provide values extracted from an object/case class into a Seq. I was wondering whether there would be any generic way of extracting values of an object into Seq of those values in order?

Convert the following:

case class Customer(name: Option[String], age: Int)
val customer = Customer(Some("John"), 24)

into:

val values = Seq("John", 24)

Answer 1

case class extends Product class and it provides such method:

case class Person(age:Int, name:String, lastName:Option[String])

def seq(p:Product) = p.productIterator.toList

val s:Seq[Any] = seq(Person(100, "Albert", Some("Einstain")))
println(s) //List(100, Albert, Some(Einstain))

Problem is that you will get untyped list/array from it. Most of the time it is not optimal way of doing things, and you should always prefer statically typed solutions.
