Laravel Etag Middleware for JSON APIs
=====================================

[](#laravel-etag-middleware-for-json-apis)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ae1f4db016e6a9a01e905cdd2d7f675c41bb6539fcfed6550bae298bb8867703/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f64656e69736d6974722f657461672e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/denismitr/etag.svg?branch=master)

This a middleware specifically for the Laravel framework and **RESTful APIs** build with it. It hashaes the response content and adds it to ETag header of HTTP response. Then it listenes to **If-Match** and **If-None-Match** headers of the requests that expect to receive json in response in order to see if a new content needs to be delivered or just 304 Not Modified response is sufficient.

Installation

Use composer to install the package:

composer require denismitr/etag
```

Include in your `app/Http/Kernel.php` to the appropriate section (all requests if all your routes are API or named middleware + API middleware group to make it work for every api route or just named middleware):

Global middleware
-----------------

[](#global-middleware)

```
/**
 * The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
 *
 * These middleware are run during every request to your application.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $middleware = [
    ...
    \Denismitr\ETags\ETagMiddleware::class
];
```

Named middleware
----------------

[](#named-middleware)

```
/**
 * The application's route middleware.
 *
 * These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $routeMiddleware = [
    ...
    'etag' => \Denismitr\ETags\ETagMiddleware::class,
];

/**
 * The application's route middleware groups.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        ...
    ],

    'api' => [
