Create a SpringBoot Project Using SpringBoot CLI

It is a tool that can be downloaded from the official site of the Spring Framework. Here, we explain the steps.

As we did here, download the CLI tool from the official site.

CLI executes groovy files. Therefore, first, we need to create a Groovy file for the Spring Boot application.

Open the terminal and then insert cd into the bin location of the cli folder.

Create a regular file.

Create a controller in the groovy file.

Execute this file

By using the following command.

./spring run SpringBootCliExample.groovy

After executing the above command, it starts executing and produces the following output.

and after many lines.

This project is running on port8080. Therefore, we can use the following URL to call it in any browser.

localhost:8080:/cli-example

It will produce the following output.
