Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via Composer:

```
composer require larowka/prevent-duplicate-requests
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Laravel 11

[](#laravel-11)

#### Global Middleware

[](#global-middleware)

To apply middleware globally to every HTTP request in Laravel 11, you can use the withMiddleware method in your bootstrap/app.php file:

```
use \Larowka\PreventDuplicateRequests\Middleware\PreventDuplicateRequests;

->withMiddleware(function ($middleware) {
    // ...
    $middleware->append(PreventDuplicateRequests::class);
});
```

#### Assigning Middleware to Routes

[](#assigning-middleware-to-routes)

If you want to assign middleware to specific routes, use the middleware method when defining the route:

```
Copy code
use \Larowka\PreventDuplicateRequests\Middleware\PreventDuplicateRequests;

Route::get('/example', function () {
    // Route logic...
})->middleware(PreventDuplicateRequests::class);
```

#### Middleware Aliases

[](#middleware-aliases)

You can define aliases for middleware in your bootstrap/app.php file to use shorter names for middleware classes:

```
use \Larowka\PreventDuplicateRequests\Middleware\PreventDuplicateRequests;

->withMiddleware(function ($middleware) {
    $middleware->alias([
        'preventDuplicate' => PreventDuplicateRequests::class,
    ]);
});
```

Once defined, you can use the alias when assigning middleware to routes:

```
Route::get('/example', function () {
    // Route logic...
})->middleware('preventDuplicate');
```

### Laravel 10

[](#laravel-10)

Add the middleware to your Laravel application's HTTP kernel:

```
// app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // ...
    'preventDuplicate' => \Larowka\PreventDuplicateRequests\Middleware\PreventDuplicateRequests::class,
];
```

Apply the middleware to your routes:

```
Route::middleware('preventDuplicate')->get('/example', function () {
    return 'Unique request handled.';
});
```

Or use globally:

```
// app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $middleware = [
    // ...
    \Larowka\PreventDuplicateRequests\Middleware\PreventDuplicateRequests::class,
];
```
