Middleware
Learn how to use middleware
Middleware
Middleware is a function that runs before the route handler. It can be used to perform operations like logging, authentication, etc.
Usage
To use middleware, you can create it via aurora.Middleware and then use it in the route.
local aurora = require("@aurora/")
-- Create a middleware
aurora.middleware("name" ,function(request)
print("Middleware")
return { status = 200 }
end)
To use the middleware, you can pass it as the third argument in the route.
local aurora = require("@aurora/")
-- Create a middleware
aurora.middleware("name" ,function(request)
print("Middleware")
return { status = 200 }
end)
-- Create a route
aurora.get("/middleware", function(req, res)
print("Route")
res.send("middleware ran")
end, {"name"})
aurora.serve()
Stop Middleware
You can stop the middleware from running by returning a response from the middleware.
local aurora = require("@aurora/")
-- Create a middleware
aurora.middleware("name" ,function(request)
print("Middleware")
if request.query["stop"] == "true" then
return { body = "Stopped", status = 400 }
end
return { status = 200 }
end)
-- Create a route
aurora.get("/middleware", function(req, res)
print("Route")
res.send("middleware ran")
end, {"name"})
aurora.serve()
