Basics
This section covers the basics of Spring Shell. Before going on to define actual commands and options, we need to go through some of the fundamental concepts of Spring Shell.
Essentially, a few things needs to happen before you have a working Spring Shell application:
-
Create a Spring Boot application.
-
Define commands and options.
-
Package the application.
-
Run the application, either interactively or non-interactively.
You can get a full working Spring Shell application without defining any user-level commands
as some basic built-in commands (such as help
and history
) are provided.
