Clean Architecture: Implementation Using Quarkus + Gradle Multi-Project. Part 5
Welcome back to our journey through Gradle Multi-Project Clean Architecture with Quarkus and Java 17.
In this chapter, we'll dive into the configuration of the
infrastructure/properties
module. This module plays a vital role in centralizing and managing configuration properties for our application, streamlining the process of mapping properties to Java classes.
Configuring Properties Module: Simplifying Configuration
The
infrastructure-properties
module acts as a dedicated repository for managing configuration properties across the application. By abstracting away the complexities of handling configuration files and properties, this module promotes a clean and organized approach to configuration management.
No Dependencies, Just Streamlined Configuration
One notable aspect of the
infrastructure/properties
module is that it doesn't have any external dependencies. Its primary focus is on simplifying the configuration process without introducing unnecessary complexity or additional libraries.
Dependency Setup
Here's how you can utilize the
infrastructure/properties
module to streamline configuration mapping:
- Navigate to the
clean-architecture-project/infrastructure/propertiesdirectory. - Open the
build.gradlefile and ensure that there are no additional dependencies beyond the standard Java and Gradle plugins. - Create Java classes that mirror the structure of your configuration properties.
- Use annotations provided by Quarkus to map properties from your configuration files to these Java classes.
Streamlined Configuration, Clean Code
By centralizing the configuration management and leveraging annotations for mapping properties, the
infrastructure/properties
module contributes to a more organized and maintainable codebase. It abstracts away the intricacies of configuration files, allowing developers to focus on the essential aspects of the application.
For detailed guidance on mapping properties to objects with Quarkus, refer to the Mapping Configuration to Objects Guide.
Conclusion
In this segment, we've delved into the configuration of the
infrastructure/properties
module, highlighting its significance in simplifying configuration management. This module's streamlined approach to properties mapping helps maintain clean code and promotes efficient configuration handling.
As we continue our exploration of Clean Architecture, we'll dive into more facets of the
infrastructure
layer, uncovering the tools and strategies that contribute to the architectural integrity of our application.
