I have a Spring Boot project for which I use Flapdoodle. Flapdoodle is used normally for testing, but I use it for development as it starts with the application itself and is comfortable to use. I just added it as dependency but without scope "test".
<dependency>
<groupId>de.flapdoodle.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo</artifactId>
<version>3.4.11</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
</dependency>
I've also set the spring.mongodb.embedded = 4.4.2 as the application doesn't start if this isn't set apperently.
Everything works fine. I can create collections and read and write documents using MongoTemplate.
However I'd be interested to know how I can switch the storaging behavior of the database: not in-memory anymore but on the disk ( + caching the most recent documents if possible). In this way the data isn't lost between restarts.
How can I set up the YAML configuration to enable this behavior?
