Registering Middleware within a Laravel package

If you ever need to register a middleware within your package so it can be used by a laravel project/application, it is possible to register this within the package’s service provider boot() method.

Firstly, this will require creating a middleware file (I would typically place this within a src/Middleware/ folder).

Once this is done, you can update the package’s service provider with the following:

// src/ExamplePackageServiceProvider.php

...

public function boot()
{
    $this->app->make('route')->aliasMiddleware(
        'middleware-alias',
        \Vendor\Package\Middleware\ExampleMiddleware::class
    );
}

Till next time.
