Subject: 📣Using Spring @Value With Defaults

// Best Practices

Hi Backend Team,
While declaring config values, pass default values as well, even if you miss in properties application will start. This is
stopping application to start.

Strings:
@Value("${some.key:my default value}")
private String stringWithDefaultValue;

ex:
Similarly, we can set a zero-length String as the default value:

@Value("${some.key:})"
private String stringWithBlankDefaultValue;

Primitives
To set a default value for primitive types such as boolean and int, we use the literal value:

@Value("${some.key:true}")
private boolean booleanWithDefaultValue;

@Value("${some.key:42}")
private int intWithDefaultValue;

Arrays
We can also inject a comma separated list of values into an array:

@Value("${some.key:one,two,three}")
private String[] stringArrayWithDefaults;

@Value("${some.key:1,2,3}")
private int[] intArrayWithDefaults;

Using SpEL(Spring Expression Language (SpEL))

We can also use SpEL to specify an expression and a default.

In the example below, we expect some.system.key to be set as a system property, and if it is not set, we want to use
my default system property value as a default:

@Value("#{systemProperties['some.key'] ?: 'my default system property value'}")


private String spelWithDefaultValue;
