Chaining Middleware

Adding multiple middleware to routes

We can chain the middleware() function to add multiple middleware to a route. In the framework, only Auth middleware comes prebuilt. To make more middleware we can make use of the sirJuni\Framework\Middleware\Middleware class. We can create our own middleware by extending from this base class.

When creating a middleware, we have to implement 2 methods in that class, one is handle() which would give request to the middleware and the other one is set_fallback_route($route) which is used to configure a default fallback route to which a redirect is caused if the Middleware fails to process the request.

To use chaining, we can do as follows

Router::add_route('GET', '/admin', [UserController::class, 'show'])->middleware(Auth::class)->middleware(MDW::class);

It routes the request through Auth first and then through MDW.
