# `Lotus.Application`
[🔗](https://github.com/elixir-lotus/lotus/blob/v1.0.0/lib/lotus/application.ex#L1)

OTP application entry point for Lotus.

Starts `Lotus.Supervisor` when `:lotus` is listed in your application's
`:extra_applications` or started as a dependency. Hosts that would rather
own the supervision tree start `Lotus.Supervisor` themselves instead.
