Middleware in Laravel
Laravel Encryption and Hashing

By: Napoleon Camus M. Hermoso


What is Middleware in Laravel?
 Middleware is a type of filtering mechanism for HTTP
requests. It sits between the request and your application's
logic.
 Think of it like a security guard or a pipeline. It can:
• Check if the user is authenticated
• Redirect users
• Add headers to responses
• Log requests
• Validate tokens, etc.

How Middleware Works
 When a request hits your Laravel app, it passes through
a stack of middleware before reaching your controller or
route.
 Each middleware class has a handle() method that can:
• Allow the request to continue ($next($request))
• Block the request
• Modify the request/response
 Creating Middleware
php artisan make:middleware MiddlewareName

Types of Middleware
 1. Route Middleware
 Applied to specific routes or controllers.
 Alias in bootstrap/app.php:
$middleware->alias([
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
]);
 Use in routes:
Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
// ...
})->middleware('auth');

04/15/2025 4
Example:
 Create a route middleware: DownForMaintenanceMW
 It will be created in App/Http/Middleware
 Inside the function handle write the codes:
if(env("APP_ENV")=="local"){
return redirect("/maintenance");
}
 In web.php, create a route:
Route::get('/maintenance',[PagesController::class,"maintenance"]);
 In PagesController, write:
function maintenance() {
return "Application is down for maintenance";
}

04/15/2025 5
Example:
 Go to bootstrap/app.php in the middleware function and write:
$middleware->alias(['maintenance' =>
\App\Http\Middleware\
DownForMaintenanceMW::class,
]);
 Go to web.php and write the following code in any route before the “;”:
->Middleware('maintenance’)
 If you want to add more middleware use the code:
->Middleware(['maintenance’,’anothermiddleware’])

Types of Middleware
 2. Global Middleware
 Runs on every request, regardless of route.
 Registered in bootstrap/app.php (Laravel 12+) using:
$middleware->append([
\App\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
]);
 Use append() adds your middleware to the end of the global stack.
 Use prepend() if you want it to run before Laravel’s core middleware.

04/15/2025 7
Example:
 Create a global middleware: GlobalMiddleWare
 Inside the function handle write the codes:
echo "This is from our global middleware";
 Go to bootstrap/app.php in the middleware function and write:
$middleware->append([
\App\Http\Middleware\GlobalMiddleWare ::class,
]);

04/15/2025 8
Types of Middleware
 3. Middleware Groups
 A set of middleware bundled under a group name.
 Define in bootstrap/app.php:
$middleware->group('web', [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\StartSession::class,
]);
 Use in routes:
Route::middleware('web')->group(function () {
// web routes here
});

04/15/2025 9
Example:
 Create Your Middleware Classes:
php artisan make:middleware ExampleMiddlewareOne
php artisan make:middleware ExampleMiddlewareTwo
 Open bootstrap/app.php and find the ->withMiddleware() method.
 Then define your group like this:
$middleware->group('custom-group', [
\App\Http\Middleware\ExampleMiddlewareOne::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\ExampleMiddlewareTwo::class,
]);
 Now that you've created a group named custom-group, you can apply it in
your route files like so:
Route::middleware('custom-group')->group(function () {
Route::get('/test', function () {
return 'Middleware group works!';
});
});

Laravel Hashing
 Hashing is a one-way process. It transforms data (like a password) into a
fixed-length string that cannot be reversed or decrypted. Once hashed, the
original value can never be retrieved.
 Laravel uses secure hashing algorithms like bcrypt, argon2,
and argon2id via the Hash facade.
 Use Hashing For:
• Passwords
• Authentication tokens
• Any data that should never be reversed
 How to Hash in Laravel
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
// Storing a password
$user->password = Hash::make($request->password);
// Verifying it later
if (Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)) {
// Password is correct
