Middleware

• Create middleware
• Basic Middleware
• Use a helper
• Adding Middleware

The middleware in web applications is the mid-layer between the HTTP request and the application logic. The middleware process incoming requests and execute the code before the controller’s actions. One of the main functions is filtering HTTP requests from the user’s browser before the actual application logic.

Create middleware

The process to create a Middleware is quite simple: you can use the Vinci Console to create a middleware class. This class will be stored in app/Middleware/.

Command:

php vinci create:middleware UserMiddleware

Class:

<?php

namespace Solital\Middleware;

use Solital\Core\Http\Middleware\BaseMiddlewareInterface;

class UserMiddleware implements BaseMiddlewareInterface
{
    /**
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(): void
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Basic Middleware

To assign middleware to all routes within a group, you may use the middleware key in the group attribute array. Middleware are executed in the order they are listed in the array:

Course::group(['prefix' => '/admin', 'middleware' => '\Solital\Middleware\UserMiddleware'], function ()
{
    Course::get("/login", "UserController@login")->name('login');
    Course::put("/logout", "UserController@logout")->name('logout');
});

Use a helper

If you don't want to type the entire middleware namespace, you can configure it in the middleware.yaml file and use the middleware helper.

middleware.yaml

middleware:
  login: \Solital\Middleware\UserMiddleware

routes.php

Course::group(['prefix' => '/admin', 'middleware' => middleware('login')], function ()
{
    Course::get("/login", "UserController@login")->name('login');
    Course::put("/logout", "UserController@logout")->name('logout');
});

Adding Middleware

If you only have one route that needs to add middleware, use the addMiddleware method.

Course::match(['get', 'post'], '/user/login', 'UserMiddleware@login')->addMiddleware('\Solital\Middleware\UserMiddleware:guest');
