Is there way to create tuple from list(without codegeneration)?

by

You really don’t want your method to return Product since this is uselessly vague. If you want to be able to use the returned object as a tuple, then you’ll have to know its arity. So what you can do is have a series of toTupleN methods for different arities. For convenience, you can add these as implicit methods on Seq.

How about this:

class EnrichedWithToTuple[A](elements: Seq[A]) {
  def toTuple2 = elements match { case Seq(a, b) => (a, b) }
  def toTuple3 = elements match { case Seq(a, b, c) => (a, b, c) }
  def toTuple4 = elements match { case Seq(a, b, c, d) => (a, b, c, d) }
  def toTuple5 = elements match { case Seq(a, b, c, d, e) => (a, b, c, d, e) }
}
implicit def enrichWithToTuple[A](elements: Seq[A]) = new EnrichedWithToTuple(elements)

and use it like:

scala> List(1,2,3).toTuple3
res0: (Int, Int, Int) = (1,2,3)
