Middleware in `middleware/` directory are automatically registered for all routes. If you want to register a middleware for a specific route, see [Object Syntax Event Handler](#object-syntax-event-handler).

::alert
Returning anything from a middleware will close the request and should be avoided! Any returned value from middleware will be the response and further code will not be executed however **this is not recommended to do!**

## Object Syntax Event Handler

Since H3@1.8, you can use a new object syntax to define event handler.

::alert{type=primary}
Read the announcement on the [UnJS blog](https://unjs.io/blog/2023-08-15-h3-towards-the-edge-of-the-web#object-syntax-event-handlers).

You can start by defining middlewares in `utils/middleware` to be able to auto-import them in your routes:
pi0 marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

```ts [utils/middleware/auth.ts]
pi0 marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved
export const auth = defineRequestMiddleware((event) => {
event.context.auth = { name: 'admin' }
})
```

```ts [utils/middleware/log.ts]
pi0 marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved
export const log = defineRequestMiddleware((event) => {
console.log(event)
})
```

Then, you can use them in your routes:

```ts [routes/hello.ts]
export default eventHandler({
onRequest: [auth],
onBeforeResponse: [log],
async handler(event) {
return `Hello ${event.context.auth?.name || 'Guest'}`
},
})
```

This synxtax allows you to order and define middleware before the handler and before the response.
