How to create your own custom Spring Boot Starter

In this tutorial you will learn how to create your own custom Spring Boot Starter. Spring Boot has a number of pre built starters that are great for bootstrapping your applications but how can you create your own? We will walk through the process of building a starter from scratch and talk about some of the processes for doing so.

Great example! Would be useful for many people. I would like to mention that same behavior can be achieved without using Spring Boot AutoConfiguration - it can be pretty much made as a third party jar/library

Thanks for sharing. Learnt a lot from the video. 🙏
I have a suggestion on video. Sometimes your profile blocks the code in the IDE and it is a bit annoying.

Would love to see how to push this to Maven central. Also, understanding how/why someone might break it up into multiple projects. I’ve written some Spring Boot starters before and I have used the multiple project approach, but if I’m honest, I’m not sure why someone would break the starter project away from the autoconfigure project. Any insights would be helpful.

[KhoaNguyen-mvmu]

Many thanks sir. could you please tell me what IDE are you using? I guess it is Intellij Idea but I am not sure.

[MarioKusek]

If I want to have JPA repository in starter. How can autoconfiguration pick it up? Are somewhere examples of that?

[Anbu_Sampath]

Instead of spring-boot-starter-web use spring-boot-starter and add spring-web as additional dependency(jps just relay on RestClient), this way jps-starter can be used with console application as well. Otherwise need to configure the property mark none web application.
