Normalize Spring properties to kebab-case

org.openrewrite.java.spring.PropertiesToKebabCase

Normalize Spring properties to use lowercase and hyphen-separated syntax. For example, changing spring.main.showBanner to spring.main.show-banner. With Spring's relaxed binding, kebab-case may be used in properties files and still be converted to configuration beans. Note, an exception to this is the case of @Value, which is match-sensitive. For example, @Value("${anExampleValue}") will not match an-example-value. The Spring reference documentation recommends using kebab-case for properties where possible.

Usage

This recipe has no required configuration options. It can be activated by adding a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-spring:5.15.0 in your build file or by running a shell command (in which case no build changes are needed):

Gradle

1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:

build.gradle

plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.16.4")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("org.openrewrite.java.spring.PropertiesToKebabCase")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-spring:5.15.0")
}

2. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.

Gradle init script

1. Create a file named init.gradle in the root of your project.

init.gradle

initscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2" }
    }
    dependencies { classpath("org.openrewrite:plugin:6.16.4") }
}
rootProject {
    plugins.apply(org.openrewrite.gradle.RewritePlugin)
    dependencies {
        rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-spring:5.15.0")
    }
    rewrite {
        activeRecipe("org.openrewrite.java.spring.PropertiesToKebabCase")
    }
    afterEvaluate {
        if (repositories.isEmpty()) {
            repositories {
                mavenCentral()
            }
        }
    }
}

2. Run gradle --init-script init.gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.

Maven POM

1. Add the following to your pom.xml file:

pom.xml
