Interface BeanRegistrar

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface BeanRegistrar

Contract for registering beans programmatically, typically imported with an @Import annotation on a @Configuration class.

@Configuration
@Import(MyBeanRegistrar.class)
class MyConfiguration {
}

Can also be applied to an application context via GenericApplicationContext.register(BeanRegistrar...).

Bean registrar implementations use BeanRegistry and Environment APIs to register beans programmatically in a concise and flexible way.

class MyBeanRegistrar implements BeanRegistrar {

    @Override
    public void register(BeanRegistry registry, Environment env) {
        registry.registerBean("foo", Foo.class);
        registry.registerBean("bar", Bar.class, spec -> spec
                .prototype()
                .lazyInit()
                .description("Custom description")
                .supplier(context -> new Bar(context.bean(Foo.class))));
        if (env.matchesProfiles("baz")) {
            registry.registerBean(Baz.class, spec -> spec
                    .supplier(context -> new Baz("Hello World!")));
        }
    }
}

A BeanRegistrar implementing ImportAware can optionally introspect import metadata when used in an import scenario, otherwise the setImportMetadata method is simply not being called.

In Kotlin, it is recommended to use BeanRegistrarDsl instead of implementing BeanRegistrar.
