Register the middleware with you app in `app/Http/Kernal.php`

```
  /**
    * The application's route middleware.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    protected $routeMiddleware = [
        //... existing code
        'ajax' => Penance316\Middleware\AjaxOnly::class,

```
// File: routes.php
get('someitem/{id}', ['middleware' => 'ajax', 'uses' => 'SomeController@show']);
