<h2 id="_name">Name</h2>
<p>cowboy_router - Router middleware</p>
<h2 id="_description">Description</h2>
<p>The <code>cowboy_router</code> middleware maps the requested host and path to the handler to be used for processing the request.</p>
<p>The router takes the <code>dispatch</code> rules as input from the middleware environment. Dispatch rules are generated by calling the <a href="../cowboy_router.compile">cowboy_router:compile(3)</a> function. The environment can contain the rules directly or a tuple <code>{persistent_term, Key}</code>, in which case Cowboy will call <code>persistent_term:get(Key)</code> to retrieve the dispatch rules.</p>
<p>When a route matches, the router sets the <code>handler</code> and <code>handler_opts</code> middleware environment values containing the handler module and initial state, respectively.</p>
<p>The router will stop execution when no route matches. It will send a 400 response if no host was found, and a 404 response otherwise.</p>

<p>Human readable list of routes to handlers.</p>
<p>Cowboy uses this list to map hosts and paths, optionally augmented with constraints applied to the bindings, to handler modules.</p>
<p>The syntax for routes is currently defined in the user guide.</p>
<!-- @todo The syntax should probably be in this module,-->
