Get a TypeTag from a Type?

by

It is possible:

import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
import scala.reflect.api

val mirror = runtimeMirror(getClass.getClassLoader)  // whatever mirror you use to obtain the `Type`

def backward[T](tpe: Type): TypeTag[T] =
  TypeTag(mirror, new api.TypeCreator {
    def apply[U <: api.Universe with Singleton](m: api.Mirror[U]) =
      if (m eq mirror) tpe.asInstanceOf[U # Type]
      else throw new IllegalArgumentException(s"Type tag defined in $mirror cannot be migrated to other mirrors.")
  })

assert(backward[String](forward[String]) == typeTag[String])
