Request Must Be Json

The RequestMustBeJson middleware ensures that a request's Content-Type and Accept headers are of a JSON type, e.g. application/json. When a client performs a request that is not of a valid JSON type, then this middleware will reject the request and result in a HTTP 400 Bad Request response.

Registration

Register the middleware in your app/Http/Kernel.php file.

// ...Inside your App\Http\Kernel class 
protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'must-be-json' => \Aedart\Http\Api\Middleware\RequestMustBeJson::class,
    
    //...remaining not shown...
];

Assign the middleware to the routes that you wish to use it.

Route::get('/users', function () {
    // ...not shown...
})->middleware('must-be-json');
