The Themosis framework is compatible with the middleware mechanism provided by the illuminate/routing package.
Middleware provide a convenient mechanism for filtering HTTP requests entering your application. For example, the Themosis framework includes a middleware that verifies if the current user has the correct capability to visit a URL. If the current user has not the specified capability defined by the middleware, the user is redirected to the home page. Else if the user has the capability, the middleware allow the request to proceed further into the application.
Middleware provided by Illuminate packages are not all activated/defined in the HTTP kernel by default. Only the
SubstituteBindingsmiddleware class is active.
In order to create a new middleware, use the make:middleware command:
php artisan make:middleware CheckUserRoleThis command will create a new CheckUserRole class within the app/Http/Middleware directory:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class CheckUserRole
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if ($request->role !== 'editor') {
return redirect('home');
}
return $next($request);
}
}In the example above, if the given role is not an editor, the middleware returns an HTTP redirect to the client. Otherwise, the request is passed further into the application. In order to pass the request deeper into the application, call the $next callback with the $request as a parameter.
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 the service container, so you may type-hint any dependencies you need within the constructor of a middleware.
If you want a middleware to run during every HTTP request to your application, list the middleware class in the $middleware property of your app/Http/Kernel.php class.
If you would like to assign middleware to specific routes, you should first assign the middleware a key in your app/Http/Kernel.php file. By default, the $routeMiddleware property of this class contains entries for the middleware included with the framework. To add your own, append it to this list and assign it a key of your choosing:
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'wp.bindings' => \Themosis\Route\Middleware\WordPressBindings::class,
'wp.can' => \Themosis\Route\Middleware\WordPressAuthorize::class,
'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class
];Once the middleware has been defined in the HTTP kernel, you may use the middleware() method to assign middleware to a route:
Route::get('shop/account', function () {
//
})->middleware('wp.can');You may also assign multiple middlewares to the route:
Route::get('/', function () {
//
})->middleware('first', 'second');When assigning middleware, you may also pass the fully qualified class name:
use App\Http\Middleware\CheckUserRole;
Route::get('shop/account', function () {
//
})->middleware(CheckUserRole::class);Sometimes you may want to group several middleware under a single key to make them easier to assign to routes. You may do this using the $middlewareGroups property of your HTTP kernel.
Out of the box, the Themosis framework comes with web, api and admin middleware groups that contain common middleware you may want to apply to your web UI and API routes:
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'admin' => [
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class
],
'web' => [
'wp.headers',
'wp.bindings',
'bindings',
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
'csrf',
\Themosis\Route\Middleware\WordPressBodyClass::class
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
'wp.can:edit_posts',
'bindings'
]
];Middleware groups may be assigned to routes and controller actions using the same syntax as individual middleware. Again, middleware groups make it more convenient to assign many middleware to a route at once:
Route::get('/', function () {
//
})->middleware('web');
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
//
});The
webmiddleware group is automatically applied to yourroutes/web.phpfile by theRouteServiceProvider.
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 this case, you may specify your middleware priority using the $middlewarePriority property of your app/Http/Kernel.php file:
/**
* The priority-sorted list of middleware.
*
* This forces non-global middleware to always be in the given order.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middlewarePriority = [
'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
'wp.bindings' => \Themosis\Route\Middleware\WordPressBindings::class
];Middleware can also receive additional parameters. For example, your application needs to verify that the current user has a given "capability" before performing a given action, you could create a CheckCapability middleware that receives a capability name as an additional argument.
Additional middleware parameters will be passed to the middleware after its $next argument:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class CheckCapability
{
/**
* Handle the incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @param string $cap
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next, string $cap)
{
if (! current_user_can($cap)) {
// Redirect...
}
return $next($request);
}
}Middleware parameters may be specified when defining the route by separating the middleware name and parameters with a :. Multiple parameters should be delimited by commas:
Route::put('post/{id}', function ($id) {
//
})->middleware('cap:edit_posts');Sometimes a middleware may need to do some work after the HTTP response has been prepared. If you define a terminate method on your middleware, it will automatically be called after the response is ready to be sent to the browser.
<?php
use Closure;
class Download
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
return $next($request);
}
public function terminate($request, $response)
{
// Add necessary response headers...
}
}The terminate method should receive both the request and the response. Once you have defined a terminable middleware, you should add it to the list of route or global middleware in the app/Http/Kernel.php file.
When calling the terminate method on your middleware, the framework will resolve a fresh instance of the middleware from the service container. If you would like to use the same middleware instance when the handle and terminate methods are called, register the middleware with the container using the container's singleton method.
