defmodule Application do
@moduledoc """
A module for working with applications and defining application callbacks.
Applications are the idiomatic way to package software in Erlang/OTP. To get
the idea, they are similar to the "library" concept common in other
programming languages, but with some additional characteristics.
An application is a component implementing some specific functionality, with a
standardized directory structure, configuration, and life cycle. Applications
are *loaded*, *started*, and *stopped*. Each application also has its own
environment, which provides a unified API for configuring each application.
Developers typically interact with the application environment and its
callback module. Therefore those will be the topics we will cover first
before jumping into details about the application resource file and life cycle.
## The application environment
Each application has its own environment. The environment is a keyword list
that maps atoms to terms. Note that this environment is unrelated to the
operating system environment.
By default, the environment of an application is an empty list. In a Mix
project's `mix.exs` file, you can set the `:env` key in `application/0`:
def application do
[env: [db_host: "localhost"]]
end
Now, in your application, you can read this environment by using functions
such as `fetch_env!/2` and friends:
defmodule MyApp.DBClient do
def start_link() do
SomeLib.DBClient.start_link(host: db_host())
end
defp db_host do
Application.fetch_env!(:my_app, :db_host)
end
end
In Mix projects, the environment of the application and its dependencies can
be overridden via the `config/config.exs` and `config/runtime.exs` files. The
former is loaded at build-time, before your code compiles, and the latter at
runtime, just before your app starts. For example, someone using your application
can override its `:db_host` environment variable as follows:
import Config
config :my_app, :db_host, "db.local"
See the "Configuration" section in the `Mix` module for more information.
You can also change the application environment dynamically by using functions
such as `put_env/3` and `delete_env/2`.
> #### Application environment in libraries {: .info}

> it is generally recommended to avoid the application environment, as the

> #### Reading the environment of other applications {: .warning}
>
> Each application is responsible for its own environment. Do not
> use the functions in this module for directly accessing or modifying
> the environment of other applications. Whenever you change the application
> environment, Elixir's build tool will only recompile the files that
> belong to that application. So if you read the application environment
> of another application, there is a chance you will be depending on
> outdated configuration, as your file won't be recompiled as it changes.
## Compile-time environment
In the previous example, we read the application environment at runtime:
defmodule MyApp.DBClient do
def start_link() do
SomeLib.DBClient.start_link(host: db_host())
end
defp db_host do
Application.fetch_env!(:my_app, :db_host)
end
end
In other words, the environment key `:db_host` for application `:my_app`
will only be read when `MyApp.DBClient` effectively starts. While reading
the application environment at runtime is the preferred approach, in some
rare occasions you may want to use the application environment to configure
the compilation of a certain project. However, if you try to access
`Application.fetch_env!/2` outside of a function:
defmodule MyApp.DBClient do
@db_host Application.fetch_env!(:my_app, :db_host)
def start_link() do
SomeLib.DBClient.start_link(host: @db_host)
end
end
You might see warnings and errors:
warning: Application.fetch_env!/2 is discouraged in the module body,
use Application.compile_env/3 instead
iex:3: MyApp.DBClient
** (ArgumentError) could not fetch application environment :db_host
for application :my_app because the application was not loaded nor
configured
This happens because, when defining modules, the application environment
is not yet available. Luckily, the warning tells us how to solve this
issue, by using `Application.compile_env/3` instead:
defmodule MyApp.DBClient do
@db_host Application.compile_env(:my_app, :db_host, "db.local")
def start_link() do
SomeLib.DBClient.start_link(host: @db_host)
end
end
The difference here is that `compile_env` expects the default value to be
given as an argument, instead of using the `def application` function of
your `mix.exs`. Furthermore, by using `compile_env/3`, tools like Mix will
store the values used during compilation and compare the compilation values
with the runtime values whenever your system starts, raising an error in
case they differ.
In any case, compile-time environments should be avoided. Whenever possible,
reading the application environment at runtime should be the first choice.
## The application callback module
Applications can be loaded, started, and stopped. Generally, build tools
like Mix take care of starting an application and all of its dependencies
for you, but you can also do it manually by calling:
{:ok, _} = Application.ensure_all_started(:some_app)
When an application starts, developers may configure a callback module
that executes custom code. Developers use this callback to start the
application supervision tree.
The first step to do so is to add a `:mod` key to the `application/0`
definition in your `mix.exs` file. It expects a tuple, with the application
callback module and start argument (commonly an empty list):
def application do
[mod: {MyApp, []}]
end
The `MyApp` module given to `:mod` needs to implement the `Application` behaviour.
This can be done by putting `use Application` in that module and implementing the
`c:start/2` callback, for example:
defmodule MyApp do
use Application
def start(_type, _args) do
children = []
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
end
end
> #### `use Application` {: .info}
>
> When you `use Application`, the `Application` module will
> set `@behaviour Application` and define an overridable
> definition for the `c:stop/1` function, which is required
> by Erlang/OTP.
The `c:start/2` callback has to spawn and link a supervisor and return `{:ok,
pid}` or `{:ok, pid, state}`, where `pid` is the PID of the supervisor, and
`state` is an optional application state. `args` is the second element of the
tuple given to the `:mod` option.
The `type` argument passed to `c:start/2` is usually `:normal` unless in a
distributed setup where application takeovers and failovers are configured.
Distributed applications are beyond the scope of this documentation.
When an application is shutting down, its `c:stop/1` callback is called after
the supervision tree has been stopped by the runtime. This callback allows the
application to do any final cleanup. The argument is the state returned by
`c:start/2`, if it did, or `[]` otherwise. The return value of `c:stop/1` is
ignored.
By using `Application`, modules get a default implementation of `c:stop/1`
that ignores its argument and returns `:ok`, but it can be overridden.
Application callback modules may also implement the optional callback
`c:prep_stop/1`. If present, `c:prep_stop/1` is invoked before the supervision
tree is terminated. Its argument is the state returned by `c:start/2`, if it did,
or `[]` otherwise, and its return value is passed to `c:stop/1`.
## The application resource file
In the sections above, we have configured an application in the
`application/0` section of the `mix.exs` file. Ultimately, Mix will use
this configuration to create an [*application resource
file*](https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/app), which is a file called
`APP_NAME.app`. For example, the application resource file of the OTP
application `ex_unit` is called `ex_unit.app`.
You can learn more about the generation of application resource files in
the documentation of `Mix.Tasks.Compile.App`, available as well by running
`mix help compile.app`.
## The application life cycle
### Loading applications
Applications are *loaded*, which means that the runtime finds and processes
their resource files:
Application.load(:ex_unit)
#=> :ok
When an application is loaded, the environment specified in its resource file
is merged with any overrides from config files.
Loading an application *does not* load its modules.
In practice, you rarely load applications by hand because that is part of the
start process, explained next.
### Starting applications
Applications are also *started*:
Application.start(:ex_unit)
#=> :ok
Once your application is compiled, running your system is a matter of starting
your current application and its dependencies. Differently from other languages,
Elixir does not have a `main` procedure that is responsible for starting your
system. Instead, you start one or more applications, each with their own
initialization and termination logic.
When an application is started, the `Application.load/1` is automatically
invoked if it hasn't been done yet. Then, it checks if the dependencies listed
in the `applications` key of the resource file are already started. Having at
least one dependency not started is an error condition. Functions like
`ensure_all_started/1` take care of starting an application and all of its
dependencies for you.
If the application does not have a callback module configured, starting is
done at this point. Otherwise, its `c:start/2` callback is invoked. The PID of
the top-level supervisor returned by this function is stored by the runtime
for later use, and the returned application state is saved too, if any.
### Stopping applications
Started applications are, finally, *stopped*:
Application.stop(:ex_unit)
#=> :ok
Stopping an application without a callback module defined, is in practice a
no-op, except for some system tracing.
Stopping an application with a callback module has three steps:
1. If present, invoke the optional callback `c:prep_stop/1`.
2. Terminate the top-level supervisor.
3. Invoke the required callback `c:stop/1`.
The arguments passed to the callbacks are related to the state optionally
returned by `c:start/2`, and are documented in the section about the callback
module above.
It is important to highlight that step 2 is a blocking one. Termination of a
supervisor triggers a recursive chain of children terminations, therefore
orderly shutting down all descendant processes. The `c:stop/1` callback is
invoked only after termination of the whole supervision tree.
Shutting down a live system cleanly can be done by calling `System.stop/1`. It
will shut down every application in the reverse order they were started.
By default, a SIGTERM from the operating system will automatically translate to
`System.stop/0`. You can also have more explicit control over operating system
signals via the `:os.set_signal/2` function.
## Tooling
The Mix build tool automates most of the application management tasks. For example,
`mix test` automatically starts your application dependencies and your application
itself before your test runs. `mix run --no-halt` boots your current project and
can be used to start a long running system. See `mix help run`.
Developers can also use `mix release` to build **releases**. Releases are able to
package all of your source code as well as the Erlang VM into a single directory.
Releases also give you explicit control over how each application is started and in
which order. They also provide a more streamlined mechanism for starting and
stopping systems, debugging, logging, as well as system monitoring.
Finally, Elixir provides tools such as escripts and archives, which are
different mechanisms for packaging your application. Those are typically used
when tools must be shared between developers and not as deployment options.
See `mix help archive.build` and `mix help escript.build` for more detail.

[`:application` Erlang module](`:application`), and the

"""
@doc """
Called when an application is started.
This function is called when an application is started using
`Application.start/2` (and functions on top of that, such as
`Application.ensure_started/2`). This function should start the top-level
process of the application (which should be the top supervisor of the
application's supervision tree if the application follows the OTP design
principles around supervision).
`start_type` defines how the application is started:
* `:normal` - used if the startup is a normal startup or if the application
is distributed and is started on the current node because of a failover
from another node and the application specification key `:start_phases`
is `:undefined`.
* `{:takeover, node}` - used if the application is distributed and is
started on the current node because of a failover on the node `node`.
* `{:failover, node}` - used if the application is distributed and is
started on the current node because of a failover on node `node`, and the
application specification key `:start_phases` is not `:undefined`.
`start_args` are the arguments passed to the application in the `:mod`
specification key (for example, `mod: {MyApp, [:my_args]}`).
This function should either return `{:ok, pid}` or `{:ok, pid, state}` if
startup is successful. `pid` should be the PID of the top supervisor. `state`
can be an arbitrary term, and if omitted will default to `[]`; if the
application is later stopped, `state` is passed to the `stop/1` callback (see
the documentation for the `c:stop/1` callback for more information).
`use Application` provides no default implementation for the `start/2`
callback.
"""

@doc """
Called before stopping the application.
This function is called before the top-level supervisor is terminated. It
receives the state returned by `c:start/2`, if it did, or `[]` otherwise.
The return value is later passed to `c:stop/1`.
"""
@callback prep_stop(state) :: state
@doc """
Called after an application has been stopped.
This function is called after an application has been stopped, i.e., after its
supervision tree has been stopped. It should do the opposite of what the
`c:start/2` callback did, and should perform any necessary cleanup. The return
value of this callback is ignored.
`state` is the state returned by `c:start/2`, if it did, or `[]` otherwise.
If the optional callback `c:prep_stop/1` is present, `state` is its return
value instead.
`use Application` defines a default implementation of this function which does
nothing and just returns `:ok`.
"""
@callback stop(state) :: term
@doc """
Starts an application in synchronous phases.

applications are terminated (the default).
Note that it is always possible to stop an application explicitly by calling
`stop/1`. Regardless of the type of the application, no other applications will
be affected.

Reads the application environment at compilation time.
Similar to `get_env/3`, except it must be used to read values
at compile time. This allows Elixir to track when configuration
values change between compile time and runtime.
The first argument is the application name. The second argument
`key_or_path` is either an atom key or a path to traverse in
search of the configuration, starting with an atom key.
For example, imagine the following configuration:
config :my_app, :key, [foo: [bar: :baz]]
We can access it during compile time as:
Application.compile_env(:my_app, :key)
#=> [foo: [bar: :baz]]
Application.compile_env(:my_app, [:key, :foo])
#=> [bar: :baz]
Application.compile_env(:my_app, [:key, :foo, :bar])
#=> :baz
A default value can also be given as third argument. If
any of the keys in the path along the way is missing, the
default value is used:
Application.compile_env(:my_app, [:unknown, :foo, :bar], :default)
#=> :default
Application.compile_env(:my_app, [:key, :unknown, :bar], :default)
#=> :default
Application.compile_env(:my_app, [:key, :foo, :unknown], :default)
#=> :default
Giving a path is useful to let Elixir know that only certain paths
in a large configuration are compile time dependent.

## Examples
`get_env/3` is commonly used to read the configuration of your OTP applications.
Since Mix configurations are commonly used to configure applications (including
your dependencies), we will use this as a point of illustration.
Consider a new application `:my_app`. `:my_app` contains a database engine which
supports a pool of databases. The database engine needs to know the configuration for
each of those databases, and that configuration is supplied by key-value pairs in
environment of `:my_app`. For example, your `config/runtime.exs` file might have:
config :my_app, Databases.RepoOne,
# A database configuration
ip: "localhost",
port: 5433
config :my_app, Databases.RepoTwo,
# Another database configuration (for the same OTP app)
ip: "localhost",
port: 20_717
config :my_app, my_app_databases: [Databases.RepoOne, Databases.RepoTwo]
Our database engine used by `:my_app` needs to know what databases exist, and
what the database configurations are. The database engine can make a call to
`Application.get_env(:my_app, :my_app_databases, [])` to retrieve the list of
databases (specified by module names).
The engine can then traverse each repository in the list and call
`Application.get_env(:my_app, Databases.RepoOne)` and so forth to retrieve the
configuration of each one. In this case, each configuration will be a keyword
list, so you can use the functions in the `Keyword` module or even the `Access`
module to traverse it, for example:
config = Application.get_env(:my_app, Databases.RepoOne)
config[:ip]
The sample `config/runtime.exs` above could be used both for `:my_app` to
configure itself but also to allow any application that depends on `:my_app`
to configure how it works. However, one should keep in mind the caveats described
in the `Application` module documentation: the application environment is global
state which should be avoided if possible.

If `put_env/4` is called before the application is loaded, the application
environment values specified in the `.app` file will override the ones
previously set.
The `:persistent` option can be set to `true` when there is a need to guarantee
parameters set with this function will not be overridden by the ones defined
in the application resource file on load. This means persistent values will
stick after the application is loaded and also on application reload.
