Description

Functional bean registration does not presently provide equivalents for @ConfigurationProperties, @EnableConfigurationProperties.

It would be great to remove all the annotation-indirection and allow users to directly create beans based off of configuration.

For example:

 beans {
    configurationPropertiesBean<SomeBean>(prefix = "my.prefix")
}

Where a minimal implementation of configurationPropertiesBean could look like:

public inline fun <reified T : Any> BeanDefinitionDsl.configurationPropertiesBean(prefix: String) {
    bean {
        Binder.get(env)
            .bindOrCreate(prefix, Bindable.of(T::class.java))
    }
}

This provides capabilities for registering multiple configuration properties beans of the same type, from different prefixes, and/or determining those prefixes dynamically.

Research direction

Start by reading the functional bean registration DSL around BeanDefinitionDsl and the existing Binder usage described in the issue. Compare the proposed configurationPropertiesBean entry point with the @ConfigurationProperties and @EnableConfigurationProperties behavior. Done means configuration properties beans can be registered from the DSL, including multiple registrations of one type with different or dynamic prefixes.
