Enriching the Future type in Scala

FutureExample.scala

package com.example.syntax

import scala.concurrent.{ExecutionContext, Future}

object FutureExample {
  import future._
  def foobar(implicit ec: ExecutionContext): Future[String] = Future.recover {
    for {
      f <- Future.failed(new RuntimeException("Foo"))
    } yield {
      f
    }
  } {
    case _: RuntimeException => "Bar"
  }
}

package.scala

package com.example.syntax

import scala.concurrent.{ExecutionContext, Future}

package object future {
  implicit class RichFutureType(f: Future.type) {
    def recover[T, U >: T](
      f: Future[T]
    )(
      pf: PartialFunction[Throwable, U]
    )(
      implicit
      ec: ExecutionContext
    ): Future[U] = {
      f.recover(pf)
    }
