Middleware

Apiato middleware are just Laravel Middleware, and they function in the exact same way as Laravel middleware. However, they come with additional rules and conventions specific to Apiato.

To generate new middleware, you may use the apiato:make:middleware interactive command:

php artisan apiato:make:middleware

Rules

• All container-specific Middleware:
  • MUST be placed in the app/Containers/{Section}/{Container}/Middleware directory.
• All general Middleware:
  • MUST be placed in the app/Ship/Middleware directory.
• All Middleware MUST extend the App\Ship\Parents\Middleware\Middleware class.
  • The parent extension SHOULD be aliased as ParentMiddleware.
