//// An Erlang application is a collection of code that can be loaded into the

//// Erlang virtual machine and even started and stopped if they define a

//// start module and supervision tree. Each Gleam package is an Erlang

//// application.



import gleam/erlang/node.{type Node}



/// The Erlang/OTP application `start` callback takes a start-type as an

/// argument, indicating the context in which the application is being started.

pub type StartType {

  /// A normal application start.

  Normal

  /// The application is distributed and started at the current node because of

  /// a takeover from Node, either because Erlang's `application:takeover/2`

  /// function has been called, or because the current node has higher priority

  /// than the previous node.

  Takeover(previous: Node)

  /// The application is distributed and started at the current node because of

  /// a failover from the previous node.

  Failover(previous: Node)

}



/// Returns the path of an application's `priv` directory, where extra non-Gleam

/// or Erlang files are typically kept. Each Gleam package is an Erlang

/// application.

///

/// Returns an error if no application was found with the given name.

///

/// # Example

///

/// ```gleam

/// application.priv_directory("my_app")

/// // -> Ok("/some/location/my_app/priv")

/// ```
