Changing Initial Data

Every time the project starts, it re-creates the table and inserts values based on a CSV file passed into the application. If you wish to modify these initial data, add your new .csv file in the resource folder and update the filename in the WorstMovieApplication.java as showcased below:

@SpringBootApplication
public class WorstMovieApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(WorstMovieApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    ApplicationRunner applicationRunner(AwardMovieService awardMovieService) {
        return args -> {

            Path path = Paths.get(Objects.requireNonNull(
                    ReadCSV.class.getResource("/changedmovielist.csv")).toURI());

            List<MovieModel> movieModels = ReadCSV.readCSV(path);
            awardMovieService.saveMovies(movieModels);
        };
    }
}
