Middleware

Introduction

Middleware provide a convenient mechanism for inspecting and filtering HTTP requests entering your application. For example, Laravel includes a middleware that verifies the user of your application is authenticated. If the user is not authenticated, the middleware will redirect the user to your application's login screen. However, if the user is authenticated, the middleware will allow the request to proceed further into the application.

Additional middleware can be written to perform a variety of tasks besides authentication. For example, a logging middleware might log all incoming requests to your application. A variety of middleware are included in Laravel, including middleware for authentication and CSRF protection; however, all user-defined middleware are typically located in your application'sapp/Http/Middleware directory.

Defining Middleware

To create a new middleware, use themake:middleware Artisan command:

1phpartisanmake:middlewareEnsureTokenIsValid
php artisan make:middleware EnsureTokenIsValid

This command will place a newEnsureTokenIsValid class within yourapp/Http/Middleware directory. In this middleware, we will only allow access to the route if the suppliedtoken input matches a specified value. Otherwise, we will redirect the users back to the/home URI:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace App\Http\Middleware;
 4 
 5useClosure;
 6use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 7use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
 8 
 9classEnsureTokenIsValid
10{
11/**
12     * Handle an incoming request.
13     *
14     *@param\Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request):(\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next
15*/
16publicfunctionhandle(Request$request,Closure$next):Response
17    {
18if ($request->input('token')!=='my-secret-token') {
19returnredirect('/home');
20        }
21 
22return$next($request);
23    }
24}
<?phpnamespace App\Http\Middleware;use Closure;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;class EnsureTokenIsValid{    /**     * Handle an incoming request.     *     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next     */    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response    {        if ($request->input('token') !== 'my-secret-token') {            return redirect('/home');        }        return $next($request);    }}

As you can see, if the giventoken does not match our secret token, the middleware will return an HTTP redirect to the client; otherwise, the request will be passed further into the application. To pass the request deeper into the application (allowing the middleware to "pass"), you should call the$next callback with the$request.

It's best to envision middleware as a series of "layers" HTTP requests must pass through before they hit your application. Each layer can examine the request and even reject it entirely.

All middleware are resolved via theservice container, so you may type-hint any dependencies you need within a middleware's constructor.

Middleware and Responses

Of course, a middleware can perform tasks before or after passing the request deeper into the application. For example, the following middleware would perform some taskbefore the request is handled by the application:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace App\Http\Middleware;
 4 
 5useClosure;
 6use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 7use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
 8 
 9classBeforeMiddleware
10{
11publicfunctionhandle(Request$request,Closure$next):Response
12    {
13// Perform action
14 
15return$next($request);
16    }
17}
<?phpnamespace App\Http\Middleware;use Closure;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;class BeforeMiddleware{    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response    {        // Perform action        return $next($request);    }}

However, this middleware would perform its taskafter the request is handled by the application:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace App\Http\Middleware;
 4 
 5useClosure;
 6use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 7use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
 8 
 9classAfterMiddleware
10{
11publicfunctionhandle(Request$request,Closure$next):Response
12    {
13$response=$next($request);
14 
15// Perform action
16 
17return$response;
18    }
19}
<?phpnamespace App\Http\Middleware;use Closure;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;class AfterMiddleware{    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response    {        $response = $next($request);        // Perform action        return $response;    }}

Registering Middleware

Global Middleware

If you want a middleware to run during every HTTP request to your application, you may append it to the global middleware stack in your application'sbootstrap/app.php file:

1use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;
2 
3->withMiddleware(function(Middleware$middleware) {
4$middleware->append(EnsureTokenIsValid::class);
5})
use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {     $middleware->append(EnsureTokenIsValid::class);})

The$middleware object provided to thewithMiddleware closure is an instance ofIlluminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware and is responsible for managing the middleware assigned to your application's routes. Theappend method adds the middleware to the end of the list of global middleware. If you would like to add a middleware to the beginning of the list, you should use theprepend method.

Manually Managing Laravel's Default Global Middleware

If you would like to manage Laravel's global middleware stack manually, you may provide Laravel's default stack of global middleware to theuse method. Then, you may adjust the default middleware stack as necessary:

 1->withMiddleware(function(Middleware$middleware) {
 2$middleware->use([
 3        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\InvokeDeferredCallbacks::class,
 4// \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\TrustHosts::class,
 5        \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies::class,
 6        \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\HandleCors::class,
 7        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance::class,
 8        \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\ValidatePostSize::class,
 9        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\TrimStrings::class,
10        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ConvertEmptyStringsToNull::class,
11    ]);
12})
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {    $middleware->use([        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\InvokeDeferredCallbacks::class,        // \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\TrustHosts::class,        \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies::class,        \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\HandleCors::class,        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance::class,        \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\ValidatePostSize::class,        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\TrimStrings::class,        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ConvertEmptyStringsToNull::class,    ]);})

Assigning Middleware to Routes

If you would like to assign middleware to specific routes, you may invoke themiddleware method when defining the route:

1use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;
2 
3Route::get('/profile',function() {
4// ...
5})->middleware(EnsureTokenIsValid::class);
use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;Route::get('/profile', function () {    // ...})->middleware(EnsureTokenIsValid::class);

You may assign multiple middleware to the route by passing an array of middleware names to themiddleware method:

1Route::get('/',function() {
2// ...
3})->middleware([First::class,Second::class]);
Route::get('/', function () {    // ...})->middleware([First::class, Second::class]);

Excluding Middleware

When assigning middleware to a group of routes, you may occasionally need to prevent the middleware from being applied to an individual route within the group. You may accomplish this using thewithoutMiddleware method:

 1use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;
 2 
 3Route::middleware([EnsureTokenIsValid::class])->group(function() {
 4Route::get('/',function() {
 5// ...
 6    });
 7 
 8Route::get('/profile',function() {
 9// ...
10    })->withoutMiddleware([EnsureTokenIsValid::class]);
11});
use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;Route::middleware([EnsureTokenIsValid::class])->group(function () {    Route::get('/', function () {        // ...    });    Route::get('/profile', function () {        // ...    })->withoutMiddleware([EnsureTokenIsValid::class]);});

You may also exclude a given set of middleware from an entiregroup of route definitions:

1use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;
2 
3Route::withoutMiddleware([EnsureTokenIsValid::class])->group(function() {
4Route::get('/profile',function() {
5// ...
6    });
7});
use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;Route::withoutMiddleware([EnsureTokenIsValid::class])->group(function () {    Route::get('/profile', function () {        // ...    });});

ThewithoutMiddleware method can only remove route middleware and does not apply toglobal middleware.

Middleware Groups

Sometimes you may want to group several middleware under a single key to make them easier to assign to routes. You may accomplish this using theappendToGroup method within your application'sbootstrap/app.php file:

 1use App\Http\Middleware\First;
 2use App\Http\Middleware\Second;
 3 
 4->withMiddleware(function(Middleware$middleware) {
 5$middleware->appendToGroup('group-name', [
 6First::class,
 7Second::class,
 8    ]);
 9 
10$middleware->prependToGroup('group-name', [
11First::class,
12Second::class,
13    ]);
14})
use App\Http\Middleware\First;use App\Http\Middleware\Second;->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {    $middleware->appendToGroup('group-name', [        First::class,        Second::class,    ]);    $middleware->prependToGroup('group-name', [        First::class,        Second::class,    ]);})

Middleware groups may be assigned to routes and controller actions using the same syntax as individual middleware:

1Route::get('/',function() {
2// ...
3})->middleware('group-name');
4 
5Route::middleware(['group-name'])->group(function() {
6// ...
7});
Route::get('/', function () {    // ...})->middleware('group-name');Route::middleware(['group-name'])->group(function () {    // ...});

Laravel's Default Middleware Groups

Laravel includes predefinedweb andapi middleware groups that contain common middleware you may want to apply to your web and API routes. Remember, Laravel automatically applies these middleware groups to the correspondingroutes/web.php androutes/api.php files:

The`web` Middleware Group
`Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies`
`Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse`
`Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession`
`Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession`
`Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken`
`Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings`

The`api` Middleware Group
`Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings`

If you would like to append or prepend middleware to these groups, you may use theweb andapi methods within your application'sbootstrap/app.php file. Theweb andapi methods are convenient alternatives to theappendToGroup method:

 1use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;
 2use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureUserIsSubscribed;
 3 
 4->withMiddleware(function(Middleware$middleware) {
 5$middleware->web(append: [
 6EnsureUserIsSubscribed::class,
 7    ]);
 8 
 9$middleware->api(prepend: [
10EnsureTokenIsValid::class,
11    ]);
12})
use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureTokenIsValid;use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureUserIsSubscribed;->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {    $middleware->web(append: [        EnsureUserIsSubscribed::class,    ]);    $middleware->api(prepend: [        EnsureTokenIsValid::class,    ]);})

You may even replace one of Laravel's default middleware group entries with a custom middleware of your own:

1use App\Http\Middleware\StartCustomSession;
2use Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession;
3 
4$middleware->web(replace: [
5StartSession::class=>StartCustomSession::class,
6]);
use App\Http\Middleware\StartCustomSession;use Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession;$middleware->web(replace: [    StartSession::class => StartCustomSession::class,]);

Or, you may remove a middleware entirely:

1$middleware->web(remove: [
2StartSession::class,
3]);
$middleware->web(remove: [    StartSession::class,]);

Manually Managing Laravel's Default Middleware Groups

If you would like to manually manage all of the middleware within Laravel's defaultweb andapi middleware groups, you may redefine the groups entirely. The example below will define theweb andapi middleware groups with their default middleware, allowing you to customize them as necessary:

 1->withMiddleware(function(Middleware$middleware) {
 2$middleware->group('web', [
 3        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
 4        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
 5        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
 6        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
 7        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken::class,
 8        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
 9// \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
10    ]);
11 
12$middleware->group('api', [
13// \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
14// 'throttle:api',
15        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
16    ]);
17})
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {    $middleware->group('web', [        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken::class,        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,        // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,    ]);    $middleware->group('api', [        // \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,        // 'throttle:api',        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,    ]);})

By default, theweb andapi middleware groups are automatically applied to your application's correspondingroutes/web.php androutes/api.php files by thebootstrap/app.php file.

Middleware Aliases

You may assign aliases to middleware in your application'sbootstrap/app.php file. Middleware aliases allow you to define a short alias for a given middleware class, which can be especially useful for middleware with long class names:

1use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureUserIsSubscribed;
2 
3->withMiddleware(function(Middleware$middleware) {
4$middleware->alias([
5'subscribed'=>EnsureUserIsSubscribed::class
6    ]);
7})
use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureUserIsSubscribed;->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {    $middleware->alias([        'subscribed' => EnsureUserIsSubscribed::class    ]);})

Once the middleware alias has been defined in your application'sbootstrap/app.php file, you may use the alias when assigning the middleware to routes:

1Route::get('/profile',function() {
2// ...
3})->middleware('subscribed');
Route::get('/profile', function () {    // ...})->middleware('subscribed');

For convenience, some of Laravel's built-in middleware are aliased by default. For example, theauth middleware is an alias for theIlluminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate middleware. Below is a list of the default middleware aliases:

Alias	Middleware
`auth`	`Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate`
`auth.basic`	`Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth`
`auth.session`	`Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession`
`cache.headers`	`Illuminate\Http\Middleware\SetCacheHeaders`
`can`	`Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize`
`guest`	`Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated`
`password.confirm`	`Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\RequirePassword`
`precognitive`	`Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\HandlePrecognitiveRequests`
`signed`	`Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature`
`subscribed`	`\Spark\Http\Middleware\VerifyBillableIsSubscribed`
`throttle`	`Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests` or`Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequestsWithRedis`
`verified`	`Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified`

Sorting Middleware

Rarely, you may need your middleware to execute in a specific order but not have control over their order when they are assigned to the route. In these situations, you may specify your middleware priority using thepriority method in your application'sbootstrap/app.php file:

 1->withMiddleware(function(Middleware$middleware) {
 2$middleware->priority([
 3        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\HandlePrecognitiveRequests::class,
 4        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
 5        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
 6        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
 7        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
 8        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken::class,
 9        \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
10        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
11        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequestsWithRedis::class,
12        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
13        \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticatesRequests::class,
14        \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
15    ]);
16})
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {    $middleware->priority([        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\HandlePrecognitiveRequests::class,        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,        \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken::class,        \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequestsWithRedis::class,        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,        \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticatesRequests::class,        \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,    ]);})

Middleware Parameters

Middleware can also receive additional parameters. For example, if your application needs to verify that the authenticated user has a given "role" before performing a given action, you could create anEnsureUserHasRole middleware that receives a role name as an additional argument.

Additional middleware parameters will be passed to the middleware after the$next argument:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace App\Http\Middleware;
 4 
 5useClosure;
 6use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 7use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
 8 
 9classEnsureUserHasRole
10{
11/**
12     * Handle an incoming request.
13     *
14     *@param\Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request):(\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next
15*/
16publicfunctionhandle(Request$request,Closure$next,string$role):Response
17    {
18if (!$request->user()->hasRole($role)) {
19// Redirect...
20        }
21 
22return$next($request);
23    }
24 
25}
<?phpnamespace App\Http\Middleware;use Closure;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;class EnsureUserHasRole{    /**     * Handle an incoming request.     *     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next     */    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, string $role): Response    {        if (! $request->user()->hasRole($role)) {            // Redirect...        }        return $next($request);    }}

Middleware parameters may be specified when defining the route by separating the middleware name and parameters with a::

1use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureUserHasRole;
2 
3Route::put('/post/{id}',function(string$id) {
4// ...
5})->middleware(EnsureUserHasRole::class.':editor');
use App\Http\Middleware\EnsureUserHasRole;Route::put('/post/{id}', function (string $id) {    // ...})->middleware(EnsureUserHasRole::class.':editor');

Multiple parameters may be delimited by commas:

1Route::put('/post/{id}',function(string$id) {
2// ...
3})->middleware(EnsureUserHasRole::class.':editor,publisher');
Route::put('/post/{id}', function (string $id) {    // ...})->middleware(EnsureUserHasRole::class.':editor,publisher');

Terminable Middleware

Sometimes a middleware may need to do some work after the HTTP response has been sent to the browser. If you define aterminate method on your middleware and your web server is using FastCGI, theterminate method will automatically be called after the response is sent to the browser:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace Illuminate\Session\Middleware;
 4 
 5useClosure;
 6use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 7use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
 8 
 9classTerminatingMiddleware
10{
11/**
12     * Handle an incoming request.
13     *
14     *@param\Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request):(\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next
15*/
16publicfunctionhandle(Request$request,Closure$next):Response
17    {
18return$next($request);
19    }
20 
21/**
22     * Handle tasks after the response has been sent to the browser.
23*/
24publicfunctionterminate(Request$request,Response$response):void
25    {
26// ...
27    }
28}
<?phpnamespace Illuminate\Session\Middleware;use Closure;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;class TerminatingMiddleware{    /**     * Handle an incoming request.     *     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next     */    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response    {        return $next($request);    }    /**     * Handle tasks after the response has been sent to the browser.     */    public function terminate(Request $request, Response $response): void    {        // ...    }}

Theterminate method should receive both the request and the response. Once you have defined a terminable middleware, you should add it to the list of routes or global middleware in your application'sbootstrap/app.php file.

When calling theterminate method on your middleware, Laravel will resolve a fresh instance of the middleware from theservice container. If you would like to use the same middleware instance when thehandle andterminate methods are called, register the middleware with the container using the container'ssingleton method. Typically this should be done in theregister method of yourAppServiceProvider:

1use App\Http\Middleware\TerminatingMiddleware;
2 
3/**
4 * Register any application services.
5*/
6publicfunctionregister():void
7{
8$this->app->singleton(TerminatingMiddleware::class);
9}
use App\Http\Middleware\TerminatingMiddleware;/** * Register any application services. */public function register(): void{    $this->app->singleton(TerminatingMiddleware::class);}
