How do you make and use Middleware in Laravel?
It acts as a middleman between a request and a response. Middleware is a type of filtering mechanism used in Laravel application.
We can create middelware with
php artisan make:middleware UsersMiddleware
Here "UsersMiddleware" is the name of Middleware. After this command a "UsersMiddleware.php" file created in app/Http/Middleware directory.
After that we have to register that middleware in kernel.php (available in app/Http directory) file in "$routeMiddleware" variable.
'Users' => \App\Http\Middleware\UsersMiddleware::class,
Now we can call "Users" middleware where we need it like controller or route file.
We can use it in controller file like this.
public function __construct() {
$this->middleware('Users');
}
In route file we can use like this.
Route::group(['middleware' => 'Users'], function () {
Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');
});
