How mica-auto Simplifies Spring Boot Starter Configuration in Mica Microservices

mica-auto

is a basic component of the Spring Cloud microservice framework Mica, used to generate some default Spring Boot starter configurations.

Usage Scenarios

It mainly avoids inconsistencies between the main Spring Boot project package and sub‑projects or sub‑modules, preventing package‑scan issues.

Custom spring boot starter.

Sub‑projects in multi‑module projects (not recommended to add mica-auto to the main project).

Features

Generate spring.factories.

Generate spring-devtools.properties.

Generate FeignClient entries in spring.factories for automatic Feign configuration in mica-pro.

If your project uses Lombok, place the mica-auto dependency after Lombok.
