I. Technologies

– Java: 1.8
– Maven: 3.3.9
– Spring Tool Suite: Version 3.8.4.RELEASE
– Spring Boot: 1.5.7.RELEASE
– MongoDB: version v3.4.9

II. SpringData Mongo GridFsTemplate

SpringData MongoDb provides GridFsTemplate class to work with GridFs file, details:

public class GridFsTemplate implements GridFsOperations, ResourcePatternResolver {
...

}

GridFsTemplate implement interface GridFsOperations that is the collection of operations to store and read files from MongoDB GridFS.

For convenient working, SpringBoot provides spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb dependency that is the collection of {mongodb-driver, spring-data-mongodb}.

III. Practice

In the tutorial, we create a SpringBoot project as below:

Step to do:

• Create SpringBoot project
• Configure GridFsTemplate
• Implement RestAPIs to work with GridFs files
• Run & check results

  1. Create SpringBoot project
