Setting up a database connection

This starter utilizes spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc so all properties that you are used to for setting up a database in spring are applicable here.

application.properties (h2 example)

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
spring.datasource.driverClasName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=password

Automatic Schema Creation

This starter will create the database schema if enabled automatically using any class that extends org.jetbrains.exposed.sql.Table

Sometimes you will want to exclude packages from that list, we have included the property spring.exposed.excluded-packages which will exclude everything under the provided package

application.properties

spring.exposed.generate-ddl = true
spring.exposed.excluded-packages = com.example.models.ignore,com.example.utils
