Scala/Play Framework: Passing a view to a view

Question

I have this line of code:

Ok(views.html.main("Title",views.html.userShow(user)))

According to the debugger views.html.userShow(user) returns a Html object.

main2 starts with

@(title: String)(content: play.twirl.api.Html)

Now I get the error message:

too many arguments for method apply: (title: String)(content: play.twirl.api.Html)play.twirl.api.HtmlFormat.Appendable in object main2

What is wrong with this code?

The declaration for the main view is using curried parameters:

@(title: String)(content: play.twirl.api.Html)

Which means you'd have to pass them like this:

Ok(views.html.main("Title")(views.html.userShow(user)))

The error is thrown because you're trying to pass too many parameters to the first grouping.

Alternatively, change the parameters of the main view to not be curried:

@(title: String, content: play.twirl.api.Html)
