Scala object and trait having same name

Question

In Scala, a class and an object can be companion(same name, same file)

I came across Scala source code, with a file having a trait and object defined in it and both having same name, but object is not extending trait.

Is this style ok?

Answer 1

Yes, In both the case trait or object same name object become a companion object you can see below code you can access private members in class and trait both situations

trait

trait Simple {
private def line = "Line"
}

object Simple {
val objTrait = new Simple{}
def lineObj=objTrait.line
}

Simple.lineObj

class

class Simple {
private def line = "Line"
}

object Simple {
val objTrait = new Simple{}
def lineObj=objTrait.line
}

Simple.lineObj
