Hi,
You are totally right, we can configure these settings inside the application properties file. But the great thing about the Spring Boot, that if we would like to use these default settings (mongodb/27017), we do not specify them at all-it will do that for us underneath 🙂
All the magic happens, because of this line in gradle:
implementation(“org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb”)

Here’s the code for db connection:
spring.data.mongodb.database=mongodb
spring.data.mongodb.port = 27017
