Spring Boot 2 Banner on the console

Add your personal brand to the Console of Spring Boot  Why do it? I ask you why not?. Give a little touch to your Spring Boot project with ASCII art.

Spring boot allows you to upload a TXT file and display its contents or transform a picture into ASCII art (spring boot will do it for you).

Example from PNG image:

source image: outcome:

how to do it?:

1. Paste the desired image into the resources folder
2. Add the following line in the Application. properties file

   1. Spring.banner.image.location= marca_favicon.png 
      [image location path, having the resources folder as root/root]

3. Start your application and watch as Spring Boot turns your image into ART ASCII.

Example from TXT file:

How to do it?:

1. Create file in resources folder called Banner.txt
2. Add the desired text
3. Start your application and see how Spring Boot searches for that file by default and loads its contents into the Console.

Tip: Use this web to generate text-based ASCII ART: http://patorjk.com/software/taag you can also see the video where I show live the above described in this post:

This does not improve your performance or A big impact on your project, but it gives an extra touch to your Application.
