+cowboy_router - router middleware
+
+== Description
+
+The `cowboy_router` middleware maps the requested host and
+path to the handler to be used for processing the request.

+to the `compile/1` function for this purpose. It adds the
+handler name and options to the environment as the values
+`handler` and `handler_opts` respectively.
+
+=== Environment input
+
+dispatch = dispatch_rules():: Dispatch table.
+
+=== Environment output

+handler_opts = any():: Handler options.
+
+== Types

+=== bindings() = [{atom(), binary()}]
+
+List of bindings found during routing.
+
+=== dispatch_rules() - opaque to the user
+
+Rules for dispatching request used by Cowboy.
+
+=== routes() = [{Host, Paths} | {Host, cowboy:fields(), Paths}]
