MindCraft Backend Web Dev - Spring Boot Mystery Lecture 21
Course by: MindCraft

In this lecture, we explore how to use command line arguments and YAML properties in a Spring Boot application. Understanding how to pass command line arguments and configure properties using YAML is crucial for flexible and dynamic application configuration. This session will guide you through the process of setting up and using these features effectively.

Introduction to Command Line Arguments
We start by discussing the role of command line arguments in Spring Boot applications. You'll learn how command line arguments can be used to override default configurations and provide dynamic input to your application.

Setting Up Command Line Arguments in Spring Boot
Next, we cover the steps to pass command line arguments to your Spring Boot application. This includes how to configure and access these arguments within your application’s code.

Introduction to YAML Properties
We then introduce YAML as a configuration format and its advantages over traditional properties files. You'll learn why YAML is preferred for its readability and hierarchical structure.

Configuring YAML Properties
Discover how to set up and use YAML properties in your Spring Boot application. We'll cover the basics of YAML syntax, how to create a YAML configuration file, and how to bind YAML properties to your application's configuration.

Combining Command Line Arguments and YAML Properties
In this section, we explore how to combine command line arguments with YAML properties for flexible configuration. Learn how to use command line arguments to override YAML configurations and manage application settings dynamically.
