Complete infrastructure to customize your auto-configuration ! Just add @EnableConfigurationProperties(MyProperties.class) • Add that class as a bean in the context (i.e. you can inject it) • Inject any key in the Environment that match the prefix + property name • Works with system property, command-line switch, key in configuration file, etc. ! Add the annotation processor to your build • Generate the relevant meta-data so that the IDE can pick that up • Description (field javadoc), default value, type ! Make that an isolated (configuration-only) thing 9 @snicoll

Again. ! An auto-configuration can work in several ways (modes) • Ideally extra conditions should discriminate them • And a configuration key should offer a way to ‘force’ the mode explicitly ! Not always a sunny day • Achieving a good result for the end user may mean low-level checks • Usually more practical to custom conditions 11 @snicoll

Implementing your own auto-configuration is easy • Dealing with all the particularities of what you want to configure is the hard part ! All the infrastructure that Boot uses internally is available • We have a good range of “core” conditions already ! Creating custom conditions is cheap • Prefer that to über complex SpEL expressions ! Use configuration keys to expose configuration options • And make sure to generate the relevant meta-data for IDEs support ! (More advanced) use callback interface for fine-grained customizations 20 @snicoll
