Functions
Middleware functions standardization, explanation and usage
This package introduces middleware functions standardization for more elastic approach to development and feature delivery.
Function schema
This example shows all props that are provided for your usage.
Explanation
Prop: request
Type: NextRequest
That's a user middleware's request passed to function, which can be later updated by functions in chain.
For example in case of authorization processes or custom headers/cookies management this prop can differ from its entry form.
Prop: context
Type: Map<string, unknown>
This property contains context shared across whole execution chain for every function.

Prop: event
Type: NextFetchEvent
This property contains event object for serverless functions execution.
It can be used to use Next.js 15 new features like event.waitUntil()
.

Prop: forward
Type: (response: MiddlewareReturn) => void
The forward
function allows you to forward the response from one middleware function to another. This can be useful for chaining middleware functions together and creating more complex middleware logic.

Prop: params
Type: () => Partial<Record<string, string | string[]>>
This property contains route parameters parsed from the URL path. Just like it's working in Next.js pages/routes/layouts but without awaiting.
