How to Create Custom Middleware in Laravel 11

 

Create Middleware

Now, we’ll create middleware using the following command.

php artisan make:middleware IsAdmin

app/Http/Middleware/IsAdmin.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth; 
class IsAdmin
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next
     */
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response
    {
        if (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->role != 'superadmin') {
            //return response()->json('Oops! You do not have permission to access.');
            return response()->view('errors.error', [], 403);
        }
        return $next($request);
    }
}

Step 3: Register Middleware

In this step, we will register our custom middleware in the app.php file, as illustrated in the code snippet below:

bootstrap/app.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;

use App\Http\Middleware\SuperAdminMiddleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))

    ->withRouting(

        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',

        api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php',

        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',

        health: '/up',

    )

    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {

        $middleware->alias([

            'isAdmin' => \App\Http\Middleware\IsAdmin::class,

        ]);

   

        //

    })

    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {

        //

    })->create();

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
Route::middleware(['isAdmin'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
        return 'Dashboard';
    });
      
    Route::get('/users', function () {
        return 'Users';
    });
});
