In Spring Boot applications, RandomValuePropertySource
is a class that lets you inject random values into your configuration. This can be useful for situations where you need a unique value for each application instance, like temporary passwords or secret keys.
Here's a breakdown of what it does:
- Generates Random Values: The key feature is generating random numbers or strings that can be used in your application.
- Configurable Range: You can specify a minimum and maximum value for numeric properties.
- Supports Different Types: It can generate different data types like long integers or UUIDs (universally unique identifiers).
- Integration with Configuration: These random values can be injected into your application properties using annotations like
@Value
.
