[](#laravel-xml-middleware)

A Laravel Middleware to accept XML requests

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Install Through Composer

[](#install-through-composer)

```
composer require tucker-eric/laravel-xml-middleware

```

### Register The Service Provider

[](#register-the-service-provider)

In `config/app.php` add the service provider to the providers array:

```
    'providers' => [
        //Other Service Providers
        XmlMiddleware\XmlRequestServiceProvider::class,
    ];
```

### Register the middleware

[](#register-the-middleware)

In `app/Http/Kernel.php`

```
    protected $routeMiddleware = [
            /// Other Middleware
            'xml' => XmlRequestMiddleware::class,
        ];
```

### Applying the middleware to routes

[](#applying-the-middleware-to-routes)

Add the middleware to your as desired

#### Controller Middleware

[](#controller-middleware)

```
class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('xml');
    }
}
```

#### Route Middleware

[](#route-middleware)

```
    Route::group(['middleware' => 'xml'], function() {
        Route::post('my-api-endpoint', 'MyOtherController@store');
    });
```

### Accessing XML Input With Middleware

[](#accessing-xml-input-with-middleware)

If you are using the middleware it will automatically inject the xml into the request as an array and you you can access the xml data in your controller with the `$request->all()`:

```
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('xml');
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->all();
    }
}
```

### Accessing XML Input

[](#accessing-xml-input)

To access the xml input without the middleware use the `xml()` method on the `Request`:

```
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

Class MyOtherController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $xml = $request->xml();
    }
}
```

To access the xml request as an object pass `false` to the `xml()` method:

```
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

Class MyOtherController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $xml = $request->xml(false);
    }
}
```
