Being new to Spring Boot I am wondering on how I can configure connection details for MongoDB. I have tried the normal examples but none covers the connection details.

I want to specify the database that is going to be used and the url/port of the host that runs MongoDB.

Any hints or tips?

Just to quote Boot Docs:

You can set spring.data.mongodb.uri property to change the url, or alternatively specify a host/port. For example, you might declare the following in your application.properties:

spring.data.mongodb.host=mongoserver
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017

All available options for spring.data.mongodb prefix are fields of MongoProperties:

private String host;

private int port = DBPort.PORT;

private String uri = "mongodb://localhost/test";

private String database;

private String gridFsDatabase;

private String username;

private char[] password;
