The easiest way to configure Embedded MongoDB

Question

I'm wondering, is there any example how to properly configure embedded MongoDB with Spring Boot?

For example, this is how i configure H2 embedded database:

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Profile;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.EmbeddedDatabaseType;
import org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean;

import javax.sql.DataSource;


@Configuration
@PropertySource({"configs/datasource.properties"})
public class DataSourceConfig {

    @Bean
    @Profile("test")
    public DataSource testDataSource() {
        return new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder().setType(EmbeddedDatabaseType.H2).build();
    }
}

And this works well, but there is a problem. This approach doesnt provide configuration with MongoDB.

Are there any workarounds?

The flapdoodle embedded MongoDB can be integrated with Spring Boot.

• Declare a dependency on flapdoodle:

  <dependency>
      <groupId>de.flapdoodle.embed</groupId>
      <artifactId>de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.0</version>
  </dependency>
  

• Declare a dependency on the library, to provide a Spring factory bean for flapdoodle's embedded MongoDB:

  <dependency>
      <groupId>cz.jirutka.spring</groupId>
      <artifactId>embedmongo-spring</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.1</version>
  </dependency>
  

• Presumably, you have already declared a dependency on spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb:

  <dependency>
     <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
     <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
  </dependency>
  

• Now, just configure a MongoTemplate pointing at the embedded MongoDB instance:

  @Bean
  public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() throws IOException {
      EmbeddedMongoFactoryBean mongo = new EmbeddedMongoFactoryBean();
      mongo.setBindIp("localhost");
      MongoClient mongoClient = mongo.getObject();
      MongoTemplate mongoTemplate = new MongoTemplate(mongoClient, "test_or_whatever_you_want_to_call_this_db");
      return mongoTemplate;
  }
