Description

data(StreamID, IsFin, Data, State) -> {Commands, State}

Handle data for a stream.

This function should be called by all stream handlers. It will propagate data to the next configured stream handler. Handlers do not have to propagate data that has been fully handled.

Arguments

StreamID

The stream ID.

IsFin

Whether this is the end of the request body.

Data

The data 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

data(StreamID, IsFin, Data, State=#state{next=Next0}) ->
    MyCommands = my_commands(),
    {Commands, Next} = cowboy_stream:data(StreamID, IsFin, Data, Next0),
    {MyCommands ++ Commands, #state{next=Next}}.
