How to create a starter in Spring Boot?
In Spring Boot, you can encapsulate a series of related dependencies and configurations by creating a Starter, making it easier for other developers to introduce and use them in their own projects.
Creating a Spring Boot Starter involves the following steps:
- Set up a Maven or Gradle project.
- the main directory in Java code
- Automatic setup
- Configure the following
- If the class is present
- Activate Configuration Properties
- Characteristics
- Appetizer
- Properties configuration
- Enable the use of configuration properties.
- directory containing main configuration files
- The spring.factories file located in the META-INF directory.
- spring.factories file
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=\
com.example.myStarter.MyAutoConfiguration
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableConfigurationProperties=\
com.example.myStarter.MyProperties
org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration=\
com.example.myStarter.MyStarter
- execute mvn command with the ‘install’ parameter
- Compile the project using Gradle.
- Simply add the Starter dependency to other projects, and you can then utilize the features and configurations provided by the Starter.
The above is a simple process for creating a Spring Boot Starter, and can be adjusted and extended based on requirements and scenarios during implementation.
