About This Episode:
In this video, we explore how to create and use custom middleware in Laravel—one of the most powerful tools for intercepting and transforming HTTP requests and responses.
You'll learn how middleware works behind the scenes, how to build your own, and how to apply it to your routes using both class names and aliases. We walk through several practical examples that demonstrate how middleware can redirect users, modify incoming request data, and even alter outgoing HTML responses.
What We Cover
- Generating custom middleware with Artisan
- Understanding the handle() method lifecycle
- Adding logic before and after the request reaches your controller
- Building a middleware that performs redirects
- Creating route aliases for cleaner middleware usage
- Modifying incoming request data (e.g., normalizing phone numbers)
- Injecting additional content into outgoing HTML responses
- Managing configuration-driven UI banners
- Tagging and pushing source code for versioning
This video provides a solid foundation for writing expressive, maintainable middleware tailored to your application's needs.
