How do implicit work in Spark/Scala

Scala has a way to add methods to existing classes, like extension method in Kotlin (and C# as I remember), but does it in a different way, through implicits.
To add the method to existing class, you first create implicit class:
object StringImplicits {
  implicit class StringUtils(s: String) {
    def someCoolMethod = println("Yooo")
  }
}

object Application extends App {
    import StringImplicits._
    val s = "Hello"
    s.someCoolMethod
}
You import this StringUtils and can call someCoolMethod on instance of String
Notice that StringUtils class takes String as a constuctor param.
When calling some method on String, scala compiler first looks this method in String class.
If it does not find it, it will look imported implicit classes which take String param.
If found, it calls the method from that class.
If no such class found, it will raise the error.
