If a lot of assets are not presenent (like on a staging server) this can even bring your application to a grinding halt. This package contains middleware that aborts the request if it contains certain extensions, that you set in your .env file. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Step 1: Install the package via composer: ``` composer require accentinteractive/laravel-ignore-extensions ``` Step 2: Make sure to register the Middleware. To use it on all requests, add it as the first option to the `web` section under `$middlewareGroups` in file app/Http/Kernel.php. ``` protected $middlewareGroups = [ 'web' => [ \Accentinteractive\LaravelIgnoreExtensions\Http\Middleware\DoNotProcessExtensions::class, ], ]; ``` To use it on specific requests, add it to any group or to the `protected $middleware` property in file app/Http/Kernel.php. ``` protected $middleware = [ \Accentinteractive\LaravelIgnoreExtensions\Http\Middleware\DoNotProcessExtensions::class, ]; ``` Step 3: Optionally publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Accentinteractive\LaravelIgnoreExtensions\LaravelIgnoreExtensionsServiceProvider" --tag="config" ``` Config for this package is stored in `config('laravel-ignore-extensions')` Usage ----- [](#usage) The package uses auto discover. The package uses a middleware class that does the checking and aborting. Config settings --------------- [](#config-settings) ### Setting extensions that should return a 404 [](#setting-extensions-that-should-return-a-404) You can set the extensions to check for in the published config file, or by setting this values in .env.
