Spring Boot provides a feature called "Conditional Configuration" that allows you to conditionally enable or disable a configuration class based on the evaluation of certain conditions.
Here's a simple example of how you can achieve this:
Suppose you have a configuration property in your application.properties file:
myapp.feature.enabled=true
Now, you can create a configuration class and annotate it with @ConditionalOnProperty:
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnProperty;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
@Configuration
@ConditionalOnProperty(name = "myapp.feature.enabled", havingValue = "true")
public class MyFeatureConfig {
// Your configuration beans or methods go here
}
In this example, the MyFeatureConfig configuration class will only be loaded if the property myapp.feature.enabled is set to true. If the property is not present or has a different value, the configuration class will be ignored during the application startup.
