how to create a nested arrays in list in application properties, and insert it as a value?
@Value("${LIST_OF_NESTED_ARRAYS}")
List<String[]> list;
CodePudding user response:
If you are using application.yml
you can do it as follows:
yourProperty:
- - "Array1 - String1"
- "Array1 - String2"
- - "Array2 - String1"
- "Array2 - String2"
CodePudding user response:
Yes, By using Spring Expression Language it can be achieved.
Code:
package com.test.listofarray;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;
@SpringBootApplication
@Slf4j
public class TestApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
@Value("#{'${LIST_OF_NESTED_ARRAYS}'.split(';')}")
private List<String[]> list;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(TestApplication.class, args);
}
@Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
list.forEach(array -> log.info("array ----> {}", Arrays.toString(array)));
}
}
application.properties
LIST_OF_NESTED_ARRAYS=India,USA,Brazil;Asia,Africa
use semi-column(;)
to separate the values of each array in the above property
and give the same semi-column(;)
in the split
function inside @value
annotation.
Verify the output of the injected list in the below output log.
