Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP >= 8.5 - Laravel 12.x Installation ------------ [](#installation) Via composer: ``` composer require softonic/laravel-request-accept-json-middleware ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) To use the middleware register it in `app/Http/Kernel.php` ``` protected $middleware = [ ... RequestAcceptJson::class, ... ]; ``` From now on the header `Accept: application/json` will be automatically added to every request. Testing ------- [](#testing) `softonic/laravel-request-accept-json-middleware` has a [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de) test suite, code style compliance check using [PHP CS Fixer](https://cs.symfony.com/), and static analysis using [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/). To run the tests, run the following command from the project folder: ``` $ docker compose run --rm test ``` To run PHPUnit only: ``` $ docker compose run --rm phpunit ``` To check code style: ``` $ docker compose run --rm php composer run phpcs ``` To fix code style issues: ``` $ docker compose run --rm fixcs ``` To run static analysis: ``` $ docker compose run --rm php composer run phpstan ``` License ------- [](#license) The Apache 2.0 license.
