= Spring Boot CLI
|
|
include::attributes.adoc[]
|
|
|
|
The Spring Boot CLI is a command line tool that you can use if you want to quickly develop a Spring application.
|
|
It lets you run Groovy scripts, which means that you have a familiar Java-like syntax without so much boilerplate code.
|
|
You can also bootstrap a new project or write your own command for it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-installation]]
|
|
== Installing the CLI
|
|
The Spring Boot CLI (Command-Line Interface) can be installed manually by using SDKMAN! (the SDK Manager) or by using Homebrew or MacPorts if you are an OSX user.
|
|
See _<<getting-started.adoc#getting-started-installing-the-cli>>_ in the "`Getting started`" section for comprehensive installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-using-the-cli]]
|
|
== Using the CLI
|
|
Once you have installed the CLI, you can run it by typing `spring` and pressing Enter at the command line.
|
|
If you run `spring` without any arguments, a simple help screen is displayed, as follows:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring
|
|
usage: spring [--help] [--version]
|
|
<command> [<args>]
|
|
|
|
Available commands are:
|
|
|
|
run [options] <files> [--] [args]
|
|
Run a spring groovy script
|
|
|
|
_... more command help is shown here_
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You can type `spring help` to get more details about any of the supported commands, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring help run
|
|
spring run - Run a spring groovy script
|
|
|
|
usage: spring run [options] <files> [--] [args]
|
|
|
|
Option Description
|
|
------ -----------
|
|
--autoconfigure [Boolean] Add autoconfigure compiler
|
|
transformations (default: true)
|
|
--classpath, -cp Additional classpath entries
|
|
--no-guess-dependencies Do not attempt to guess dependencies
|
|
--no-guess-imports Do not attempt to guess imports
|
|
-q, --quiet Quiet logging
|
|
-v, --verbose Verbose logging of dependency
|
|
resolution
|
|
--watch Watch the specified file for changes
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The `version` command provides a quick way to check which version of Spring Boot you are using, as follows:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring version
|
|
Spring CLI v{spring-boot-version}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-run]]
|
|
=== Running Applications with the CLI
|
|
You can compile and run Groovy source code by using the `run` command.
|
|
The Spring Boot CLI is completely self-contained, so you do not need any external Groovy installation.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows a "`hello world`" web application written in Groovy:
|
|
|
|
.hello.groovy
|
|
[source,groovy,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
@RestController
|
|
class WebApplication {
|
|
|
|
@RequestMapping("/")
|
|
String home() {
|
|
"Hello World!"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To compile and run the application, type the following command:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring run hello.groovy
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To pass command-line arguments to the application, use `--` to separate the commands from the "`spring`" command arguments, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring run hello.groovy -- --server.port=9000
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To set JVM command line arguments, you can use the `JAVA_OPTS` environment variable, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m spring run hello.groovy
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When setting `JAVA_OPTS` on Microsoft Windows, make sure to quote the entire instruction, such as `set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx2048m"`.
|
|
Doing so ensures the values are properly passed to the process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-deduced-grab-annotations]]
|
|
==== Deduced "`grab`" Dependencies
|
|
Standard Groovy includes a `@Grab` annotation, which lets you declare dependencies on third-party libraries.
|
|
This useful technique lets Groovy download jars in the same way as Maven or Gradle would but without requiring you to use a build tool.
|
|
|
|
Spring Boot extends this technique further and tries to deduce which libraries to "`grab`" based on your code.
|
|
For example, since the `WebApplication` code shown previously uses `@RestController` annotations, Spring Boot grabs "Tomcat" and "Spring MVC".
|
|
|
|
The following items are used as "`grab hints`":
|
|
|
|
|===
|
|
| Items | Grabs
|
|
|
|
| `JdbcTemplate`, `NamedParameterJdbcTemplate`, `DataSource`
|
|
| JDBC Application.
|
|
|
|
| `@EnableJms`
|
|
| JMS Application.
|
|
|
|
| `@EnableCaching`
|
|
| Caching abstraction.
|
|
|
|
| `@Test`
|
|
| JUnit.
|
|
|
|
| `@EnableRabbit`
|
|
| RabbitMQ.
|
|
|
|
| extends `Specification`
|
|
| Spock test.
|
|
|
|
| `@EnableBatchProcessing`
|
|
| Spring Batch.
|
|
|
|
| `@MessageEndpoint` `@EnableIntegration`
|
|
| Spring Integration.
|
|
|
|
| `@Controller` `@RestController` `@EnableWebMvc`
|
|
| Spring MVC + Embedded Tomcat.
|
|
|
|
| `@EnableWebSecurity`
|
|
| Spring Security.
|
|
|
|
| `@EnableTransactionManagement`
|
|
| Spring Transaction Management.
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
TIP: See subclasses of {spring-boot-cli-module-code}/compiler/CompilerAutoConfiguration.java[`CompilerAutoConfiguration`] in the Spring Boot CLI source code to understand exactly how customizations are applied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-default-grab-deduced-coordinates]]
|
|
==== Deduced "`grab`" Coordinates
|
|
Spring Boot extends Groovy's standard `@Grab` support by letting you specify a dependency without a group or version (for example, `@Grab('freemarker')`).
|
|
Doing so consults Spring Boot's default dependency metadata to deduce the artifact's group and version.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The default metadata is tied to the version of the CLI that you use.
|
|
It changes only when you move to a new version of the CLI, putting you in control of when the versions of your dependencies may change.
|
|
A table showing the dependencies and their versions that are included in the default metadata can be found in the <<appendix-dependency-versions.adoc#dependency-versions,appendix>>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-default-import-statements]]
|
|
==== Default Import Statements
|
|
To help reduce the size of your Groovy code, several `import` statements are automatically included.
|
|
Notice how the preceding example refers to `@Component`, `@RestController`, and `@RequestMapping` without needing to use fully-qualified names or `import` statements.
|
|
|
|
TIP: Many Spring annotations work without using `import` statements.
|
|
Try running your application to see what fails before adding imports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-automatic-main-method]]
|
|
==== Automatic Main Method
|
|
Unlike the equivalent Java application, you do not need to include a `public static void main(String[] args)` method with your `Groovy` scripts.
|
|
A `SpringApplication` is automatically created, with your compiled code acting as the `source`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-default-grab-deduced-coordinates-custom-dependency-management]]
|
|
==== Custom Dependency Management
|
|
By default, the CLI uses the dependency management declared in `spring-boot-dependencies` when resolving `@Grab` dependencies.
|
|
Additional dependency management, which overrides the default dependency management, can be configured by using the `@DependencyManagementBom` annotation.
|
|
The annotation's value should specify the coordinates (`groupId:artifactId:version`) of one or more Maven BOMs.
|
|
|
|
For example, consider the following declaration:
|
|
|
|
[source,groovy,indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
@DependencyManagementBom("com.example.custom-bom:1.0.0")
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The preceding declaration picks up `custom-bom-1.0.0.pom` in a Maven repository under `com/example/custom-versions/1.0.0/`.
|
|
|
|
When you specify multiple BOMs, they are applied in the order in which you declare them, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[source,java,indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
@DependencyManagementBom(["com.example.custom-bom:1.0.0",
|
|
"com.example.another-bom:1.0.0"])
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The preceding example indicates that the dependency management in `another-bom` overrides the dependency management in `custom-bom`.
|
|
|
|
You can use `@DependencyManagementBom` anywhere that you can use `@Grab`.
|
|
However, to ensure consistent ordering of the dependency management, you can use `@DependencyManagementBom` at most once in your application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-multiple-source-files]]
|
|
=== Applications with Multiple Source Files
|
|
You can use "`shell globbing`" with all commands that accept file input.
|
|
Doing so lets you use multiple files from a single directory, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring run *.groovy
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-jar]]
|
|
=== Packaging Your Application
|
|
You can use the `jar` command to package your application into a self-contained executable jar file, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring jar my-app.jar *.groovy
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The resulting jar contains the classes produced by compiling the application and all of the application's dependencies so that it can then be run by using `java -jar`.
|
|
The jar file also contains entries from the application's classpath.
|
|
You can add and remove explicit paths to the jar by using `--include` and `--exclude`.
|
|
Both are comma-separated, and both accept prefixes, in the form of "`+`" and "`-`", to signify that they should be removed from the defaults.
|
|
The default includes are as follows:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
public/**, resources/**, static/**, templates/**, META-INF/**, *
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The default excludes are as follows:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
.*, repository/**, build/**, target/**, **/*.jar, **/*.groovy
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Type `spring help jar` on the command line for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-init]]
|
|
=== Initialize a New Project
|
|
The `init` command lets you create a new project by using https://start.spring.io without leaving the shell, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring init --dependencies=web,data-jpa my-project
|
|
Using service at https://start.spring.io
|
|
Project extracted to '/Users/developer/example/my-project'
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The preceding example creates a `my-project` directory with a Maven-based project that uses `spring-boot-starter-web` and `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa`.
|
|
You can list the capabilities of the service by using the `--list` flag, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring init --list
|
|
=======================================
|
|
Capabilities of https://start.spring.io

|
|
maven-project - Maven Project [format:project, build:maven] (default)
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The `init` command supports many options.
|
|
See the `help` output for more details.
|
|
For instance, the following command creates a Gradle project that uses Java 8 and `war` packaging:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring init --build=gradle --java-version=1.8 --dependencies=websocket --packaging=war sample-app.zip
|
|
Using service at https://start.spring.io
|
|
Content saved to 'sample-app.zip'
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-shell]]
|
|
=== Using the Embedded Shell
|
|
Spring Boot includes command-line completion scripts for the BASH and zsh shells.
|
|
If you do not use either of these shells (perhaps you are a Windows user), you can use the `shell` command to launch an integrated shell, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring shell
|
|
*Spring Boot* (v{spring-boot-version})
|
|
Hit TAB to complete. Type \'help' and hit RETURN for help, and \'exit' to quit.
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
From inside the embedded shell, you can run other commands directly:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ version
|
|
Spring CLI v{spring-boot-version}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The embedded shell supports ANSI color output as well as `tab` completion.
|
|
If you need to run a native command, you can use the `!` prefix.
|
|
To exit the embedded shell, press `ctrl-c`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-install-uninstall]]
|
|
=== Adding Extensions to the CLI
|
|
You can add extensions to the CLI by using the `install` command.
|
|
The command takes one or more sets of artifact coordinates in the format `group:artifact:version`, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring install com.example:spring-boot-cli-extension:1.0.0.RELEASE
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
In addition to installing the artifacts identified by the coordinates you supply, all of the artifacts' dependencies are also installed.
|
|
|
|
To uninstall a dependency, use the `uninstall` command.
|
|
As with the `install` command, it takes one or more sets of artifact coordinates in the format of `group:artifact:version`, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring uninstall com.example:spring-boot-cli-extension:1.0.0.RELEASE
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
It uninstalls the artifacts identified by the coordinates you supply and their dependencies.
|
|
|
|
To uninstall all additional dependencies, you can use the `--all` option, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ spring uninstall --all
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-groovy-beans-dsl]]
|
|
== Developing Applications with the Groovy Beans DSL
|
|
Spring Framework 4.0 has native support for a `beans{}` "`DSL`" (borrowed from https://grails.org/[Grails]), and you can embed bean definitions in your Groovy application scripts by using the same format.
|
|
This is sometimes a good way to include external features like middleware declarations, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[source,groovy,indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
@Configuration(proxyBeanMethods = false)
|
|
class Application implements CommandLineRunner {
|
|
|
|
@Autowired
|
|
SharedService service
|
|
|
|
@Override
|
|
void run(String... args) {
|
|
println service.message
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
import my.company.SharedService
|
|
|
|
beans {
|
|
service(SharedService) {
|
|
message = "Hello World"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You can mix class declarations with `beans{}` in the same file as long as they stay at the top level, or, if you prefer, you can put the beans DSL in a separate file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-maven-settings]]
|
|
== Configuring the CLI with settings.xml
|
|
The Spring Boot CLI uses Aether, Maven's dependency resolution engine, to resolve dependencies.
|
|
The CLI makes use of the Maven configuration found in `~/.m2/settings.xml` to configure Aether.
|
|
The following configuration settings are honored by the CLI:
|
|
|
|
* Offline
|
|
* Mirrors
|
|
* Servers
|
|
* Proxies
|
|
* Profiles
|
|
** Activation
|
|
** Repositories
|
|
* Active profiles
|
|
|
|
See https://maven.apache.org/settings.html[Maven's settings documentation] for further information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[cli-whats-next]]
|
|
== What to Read Next
|
|
There are some {spring-boot-code}/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-cli/samples[sample groovy scripts] available from the GitHub repository that you can use to try out the Spring Boot CLI.
|
|
There is also extensive Javadoc throughout the {spring-boot-cli-module-code}[source code].
|
|
|
|
If you find that you reach the limit of the CLI tool, you probably want to look at converting your application to a full Gradle or Maven built "`Groovy project`".
|
|
The next section covers Spring Boot's "<<build-tool-plugins.adoc#build-tool-plugins, Build tool plugins>>", which you can use with Gradle or Maven.
|
