A Spring Boot starter for useful autoconfiguration for the Exposed SQL framework

Spring Boot Starter for Exposed

This repository adds a Spring Boot starter for the Exposed - a Kotlin SQL framework.

Getting started

The spring-boot-starter-exposed is available on jitpack:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    compile('com.github.mduesterhoeft:spring-boot-starter-exposed:0.1.7')
}

This will bring in org.jetbrains.exposed:exposed and org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc.

Autoconfiguration of Exposed beans

The starter will add a org.jetbrains.exposed.sql.Database bean to the application context if a bean of type javax.sql.DataSource is present.

If you have the exposed module org.jetbrains.exposed:spring-transaction on the classpath and also a Datasource bean on the application context, the starter will add a org.jetbrains.exposed.spring.SpringTransactionManager bean.

Schema creation

The starter can be used to initialize the database schema.

To achieve this, a bean of type com.github.mduesterhoeft.exposed.ExposedTables is needed on the application context. This bean needs to contain all tables that should be created. The schema generation needs to be enabled like this:

spring.exposed.generate-ddl=true
