spring-boot-groovy-config

Configure spring boot application with groovy files. This allows not only to specify the properties in a groovy DSL way, but also allows for (small) logic and re-use inside the configuration (note that complex logic in configuration is usually not a good idea, but some if/else cases or dynamically calculated values (e.g. port numbers) can otherwise be cumbersome to configure).

Looks for application.groovy and application-<profile>.groovy on classpath and in current dir.

Howto use

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>eu.hinsch</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-groovy-config</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

compile 'eu.hinsch:spring-boot-groovy-config:0.1.0'

Example

spring {
  datasource {
    username = 'myuser'
    password = 'maypass'
  }
}

Profile specific sections in application.groovy:

spring {
  profiles {
    dev {
      displayname = 'development'
    }
    prod {
      displayname = 'production'
    }
  }
}     

When the application is started with spring.profiles.active=dev displayname will be set to 'development', ...
