How to setup custom middleware in strapi? - middleware

Question

I just wanted to setup a simple custom middleware in strapi. I have tried what they are writing in docs but I found that environments folder and inside configurations are removed. Follwing that currently I have writtent.
/config/environments/development/middleware.json
{
"subscribers": {
"enabled": true
}
}
/config/middleware.json
{
"timeout": 100,
"load": {
"before": ["responseTime", "logger", "cors", "responses", "gzip"],
"order": ["parser", "subscribers"],
"after": ["router"]
}
}
/middlewares/subscribers/index.js
module.exports = (strapi) => {
return {
initialize() {
strapi.app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
console.log("I have been called!");
await next();
});
},
};
};
Please help me to implement a middleware in strapi api.Thanks beforehand.

Answer 1

I just did what is written in the docs and I will do the same in my answer!
Initially I was reading from an older version of documentation which is mentioned by #Derrick Mehaffy. I found the correct docs url and read through its middleware implementation. [LINK TO THE DOCS] (Below explanations are obtained from docs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples: Create your custom middleware. [Path — ./middlewares/timer/index.js]
module.exports = strapi => {
return {
initialize() {
strapi.app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
const start = Date.now();
// I just add custom code that logs `I have been called!`
console.log('I have been called!');
await next();
const delta = Math.ceil(Date.now() - start);
ctx.set('X-Response-Time', delta + 'ms');
});
},
};
};
Enable the middleware in environments settings.
Load a middleware at the very first place - !You can do at the proper order
Path — ./config/middleware.js
module.exports = {
load: {
before: ["timer", "responseTime", "logger", "cors", "responses", "gzip"],
order: ["parser", ],
after: ["router", ],
},
settings: {
timer: {
enabled: true,
},
},
};
Basically I just copied and pasted the answer from docs, but it might be helpful for future use that's I have left the question
