<p>The module <code>cowboy_middleware</code> defines a callback interface for Cowboy middlewares.</p>
<p>Middlewares process the request sequentially in the order they are configured.</p>

<p>Middleware environment.</p>
<p>A new environment is created for every request. The initial environment contained the user configured environment values (like <code>dispatch</code> for example) plus the <code>listener</code> value which contains the name of the listener for this connection.</p>
<p>Middlewares may modify the environment as necessary.</p>
<h2 id="_changelog">Changelog</h2>
<ul><li><strong>2.0</strong>: The <code>env</code> type is now a map instead of a proplist.

<li><strong>1.0</strong>: Behavior introduced.
