Registering Middleware: Middleware Groups

Middleware Groups

Again, middleware groups make it more convenient to assign many middleware to a route at once.

/**
 * The application's route middleware groups.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
    ],

    'api' => [
        'throttle:60,1',
        'auth:api',
    ],
];

Route::get('/', function () {
    //
})->middleware('web');

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web'] ], function () {
    //
});

May be assigned to routes and controller actions using the same syntax as individual middleware.
Out of the box, the web middleware group is automatically applied to your routes/web.php file by the RouteServiceProvider.
Out of the box, Laravel comes with web and api middleware groups that contain common middleware you may want to apply to your web UI and API routes.
