The make:middleware command is used to generate a middleware class. It accepts a name that will be used as the name of the newly generated class and file. Generated classes are stored within the app/Http/Middleware directory.
The following example would create a new middleware file in the app/Http/Middleware/MyMiddleware.php file:
1# Generate a new middleware class.2php artisan make:middleware MyMiddlewareThis command will not overwrite any existing middleware classes that have the same name. An error stating Middleware already exists! will be displayed instead.
The make:middleware command is also capable of generated namespaced classes. Accomplish this by separating namespace sections using the \ when supplying the middleware name. A nested directory will be created and the correct namespace will be set on the generated class.
