# `Baby.Application`
[🔗](https://github.com/mwmiller/baby_ex/blob/main/lib/baby/application.ex#L1)

By design the `Baby` server does not start automatically.

To use the `:baby` configuration, it may be started via:

```
Baby.Application.start(:normal)
```

One may also craft a custom configuration to be supplied at runtime:

```
config = [spool_dir: "~/.special_bamboo"]
Baby.Application.start(:normal, config)
```

# `child_spec`

A usable child specification for starting under a supervision tree
