Scala Option implicit conversion - Bad practice or missing feature?

Question

I represented my data model as case classes typing values that may be null as Option.

case class Document(id: Long, title: String, subtitle: Option[String])
         


        

Answer 1

That's a pretty dangerous implementation:

scala> val s: String = null
s: String = null

scala> Document(123, "The Title", s)
res2: Document = Document(123,The Title,Some(null))
