Spring Boot and how to configure connection details to MongoDB?

Question

Being new to Spring Boot I am wondering on how I can configure connection details for MongoDB. I have tried the normal examples but none covers the connection details.

You can define more details by extending AbstractMongoConfiguration.

@Configuration
@EnableMongoRepositories("demo.mongo.model")
public class SpringMongoConfig extends AbstractMongoConfiguration {
    @Value("${spring.profiles.active}")
    private String profileActive;

    @Value("${spring.application.name}")
    private String proAppName;

    @Value("${spring.data.mongodb.host}")
    private String mongoHost;

    @Value("${spring.data.mongodb.port}")
    private String mongoPort;

    @Value("${spring.data.mongodb.database}")
    private String mongoDB;

    @Override
    public MongoMappingContext mongoMappingContext()
        throws ClassNotFoundException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return super.mongoMappingContext();
    }
    @Override
    @Bean
    public Mongo mongo() throws Exception {
        return new MongoClient(mongoHost + ":" + mongoPort);
    }
    @Override
    protected String getDatabaseName() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return mongoDB;
    }
}
