Sometimes you want to disable a middleware/route middleware when testing a controller in Laravel 5. This package simplifies the process.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev "moon/fakemiddleware": "1.1"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Open **TestCase.php**, which comes with L5 by default. Locate **createApplication** method and initialize FakeMiddleware.

```
use Moon\FakeMiddleware\FakeMiddleware;

public function createApplication()
{
    $app = require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
    $app->make('Illuminate\Contracts\Console\Kernel')->bootstrap();

    // This will remove ExternalOAuthVerifier and repalce auth middleware
    // with a fake middleware
    // function __construct(Application $app, $globalMiddlewares, $routeMiddlewares);
    new FakeMiddleware($app, ['App\Http\Middleware\ExternalOAuthVerifier'], ['auth']);

    return $app;
}
```
