In this post, we will learn about configure datasource programmatically in spring boot

In below example we are using mysql as database. We are reading database properties from application.properties using @ConfigurationProperties

Using DataSourceBuilder

    @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "datasource.custom")
	@Bean
	@Primary
	public DataSource dataSource() {
		return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
	}

In the above snippet spring boot will create datasource with values from application.properties

datasource.custom.jdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/beginnersbug
datasource.custom.username=root
datasource.custom.password=password
datasource.custom.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

make sure your prefix correct matching text. In this example I am using datasource.custom as prefix

CREATE TABLE students (
    id int NOT NULL,
	firstname varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    lastname varchar(255) NOT NULL,    
    department int,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

dependency

<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
		</dependency>
<dependency>
			<groupId>mysql</groupId>
			<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
			<scope>runtime</scope>
		</dependency>

Configuration Class

Your configuration class should annotated with @configuration

import javax.sql.DataSource;

import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.boot.jdbc.DataSourceBuilder;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Primary;

@Configuration
public class DatasourceConfig {

	@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "datasource.custom")
	@Bean
	@Primary
	public DataSource dataSource() {
		return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
	}

}

In this program we are connecting to mysql database. Below is DaoInterface where I am using JpaRepository for CRUD operations

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import com.beginnersbug.studentservice.model.Student;

@Repository
public interface StudentDao extends JpaRepository<Student, Long> {

}

From Controller class we are invoking DAO interface to retrieve strudents table data

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.beginnersbug.datasource.StudentDao;
import com.beginnersbug.datasource.model.Student;

@RestController()
@RequestMapping("/api/student")
public class StudentController {

	@Autowired
	StudentDao studentsDao;

	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public List<Student> getStudentsList() {
		return studentsDao.findAll();
	}

}

Testing

Hit http://localhost:8080/api/student from Chrome brower, It will return all the values from the students table
