MongoDB + HibernateOGM + Spring Boot auto create database

Question

Today, I want to auto-create my database structure for MongoDB with Spring Boot usage. In relational databases in the past, I was using two properties in the application.properties file like:

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true

Now I want to do the same for MongoDB but with property:

hibernate.ogm.datastore.create_database=true

IntelliJ marking my property with the hint:

cannot resolve configuration property hibernate.ogm.datastore.create_database

My pom.xml looks like:

My entity is marked with annotation @Document but still after rerunning my application I have an empty database.

I will be grateful for a suggestions on how to auto-create database with spring boot application properties usage.

Answer 1

Then equivalent Hibernate properties in spring-boot application should be prefix with spring.jpa.properties .So it should be:

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.ogm.datastore.create_database=true
