package org.o7planning.sbfileupload;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootFileUploadApplication {

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

2. Configure file size

No ADS
Spring Boot has automatically configured the necessary libraries so that you can build the file upload function. The default size of the file is limited to 128KB, so you need to configure to change the value for this parameter. Add the following properties to the application.properties file.
application.properties
spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size=5MB
spring.servlet.multipart.max-request-size=5MB
The maximum file size is 5GB.

3. Form & Controller

        this.description = description;
