= cowboy_stream:info(3)
== Name
cowboy_stream:info - Handle a message for a stream
== Description
[source,erlang]
----
info(StreamID, Info, State) -> {Commands, State}
StreamID :: cowboy_stream:stream_id()
Info :: any()
Commands :: cowboy_stream:commands()
State - opaque
----
Handle a message for a stream.
This function should be called by all stream handlers. It will
propagate the event to the next configured stream handler.
Handlers do not have to propagate events that have been
fully handled.
== Arguments
StreamID::
The stream ID.
Info::
The event received.
Commands::
The commands to be executed.
State::
The state for the next stream handler.
== Return value
A list of commands and an opaque state is returned.
The list of commands returned should be included in the
commands returned from the current stream handler. It
can be modified if necessary.
The state should be stored in the current stream
handler's state and passed to `cowboy_stream` when
necessary. The state should be treated as opaque.
== Changelog
* *2.0*: Function introduced.
== Examples
.Propagate an event to the next stream handler
[source,erlang]
----
info(StreamID, Info, State=#state{next=Next0}) ->
MyCommands = my_commands(),
{Commands, Next} = cowboy_stream:info(StreamID, Info, Next0),
{MyCommands ++ Commands, #state{next=Next}}.
