Inledning

Vi har utforskat värdskiktet och Kestrel-servern i del 2. Nu kommer vi fram till hjärtat av ASP.NET Core: den medelstora programvara pipeline. Det är där din ansökans logik lever, där förfrågningar behandlas, och där svar byggs. Förstå middleware är grundläggande för att behärska ASP.NET Core.

Middleware är elegant enkelt i konceptet – varje komponent är en funktion som behandlar en HTTP-begäran – men ändå tillräckligt kraftfull för att hantera allt från autentisering till felhantering till servering av filer. I den här delen ska vi undersöka hur middleware fungerar, undersöka de inbyggda komponenterna och lära oss att skapa våra egna.

OBS: Detta är en del av en serie experimentella artiklar (därav dateras i det förflutna). Det är en kombination av AI och min egen redigering och tweaking.

Vad är Middleware?

Middleware är programvara som är monterad i en applikation pipeline för att hantera förfrågningar och svar. Varje komponent:

1. Väljer om begäran ska vidarebefordras till nästa komponent i rörledningen
2. Kan utföra arbete Före och efter nästa komponent i rörledningen

Tänk på det som en serie av inbäddade funktioner, där varje mellanredskap sveper in nästa:

graph LR
    A[Request] --> B[Middleware 1]
    B --> C[Middleware 2]
    C --> D[Middleware 3]
    D --> E[Endpoint]
    E --> D
    D --> C
    C --> B
    B --> F[Response]

Varje middleware kan:

• Behandla begäran innan du skickar den till nästa mellanprogram
• Kortslutning och returnera ett svar omedelbart
• Bearbeta svaret när det återvänder genom rörledningen

Delegatsignaturen för mellanprogram

I dess kärna, är middleware bara en funktion med denna signatur:

public delegate Task RequestDelegate(HttpContext context);

Varje middleware tar emot:

• HttpContext context - Innehåller all begäran och svarsinformation
• RequestDelegate next - Nästa middleware i pipeline

Avrättningsflöde för mellanprogram

Låt oss visualisera hur en begäran flödar genom middleware:

sequenceDiagram
    participant Client
    participant MW1 as Middleware 1
    participant MW2 as Middleware 2
    participant MW3 as Middleware 3
    participant Endpoint

    Client->>MW1: HTTP Request
    Note over MW1: Before logic
    MW1->>MW2: next()
    Note over MW2: Before logic
    MW2->>MW3: next()
    Note over MW3: Before logic
    MW3->>Endpoint: next()
    Note over Endpoint: Execute endpoint
    Endpoint-->>MW3: Return
    Note over MW3: After logic
    MW3-->>MW2: Return
    Note over MW2: After logic
    MW2-->>MW1: Return
    Note over MW1: After logic
    MW1-->>Client: HTTP Response

Nyckelpunkter:

• Begär flöden framåt genom rörledningen (upp till botten)
• Svarsflöden bakåt genom rörledningen (nedifrån och upp)
• Varje middleware kan köra kod både före och efter anrop next()
• Middleware kan kortslutning genom att inte ringa next()

Skapa Middleware: Tre tillvägagångssätt

1. Inline Middleware med Use()

Den enklaste metoden använder lambda uttryck:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    // Before the next middleware
    Console.WriteLine($"Request: {context.Request.Path}");
    var startTime = DateTime.UtcNow;

    // Call the next middleware
    await next(context);

    // After the next middleware
    var elapsed = DateTime.UtcNow - startTime;
    Console.WriteLine($"Response: {context.Response.StatusCode} ({elapsed.TotalMilliseconds}ms)");
});

app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");

app.Run();

Utmatning vid åtkomst /:

Request: /
Response: 200 (15.3ms)

2. Terminal Middleware med Run()

Run() skapar terminal middleware som avslutar rörledningen:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("This executes");
    await next(context);
});

app.Run(async context =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("This is terminal - no next() to call");
    await context.Response.WriteAsync("End of pipeline");
});

// This never executes because Run() terminates the pipeline
app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("This never executes");
    await next(context);
});

app.Run();

3. Klassbaserad Middleware

För komplexa mellanprodukter, använd en klass:

// Middleware class
public class RequestTimingMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    private readonly ILogger<RequestTimingMiddleware> _logger;

    public RequestTimingMiddleware(RequestDelegate next, ILogger<RequestTimingMiddleware> logger)
    {
        _next = next;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
    {
        var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();

        // Store start time in HttpContext.Items for other middleware to access
        context.Items["RequestStartTime"] = DateTime.UtcNow;

        try
        {
            await _next(context);
        }
        finally
        {
            sw.Stop();
            _logger.LogInformation(
                "Request {Method} {Path} completed in {ElapsedMs}ms with status {StatusCode}",
                context.Request.Method,
                context.Request.Path,
                sw.ElapsedMilliseconds,
                context.Response.StatusCode
            );
        }
    }
}

// Extension method for convenience
public static class RequestTimingMiddlewareExtensions
{
    public static IApplicationBuilder UseRequestTiming(this IApplicationBuilder builder)
    {
        return builder.UseMiddleware<RequestTimingMiddleware>();
    }
}

// Usage
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.UseRequestTiming();

app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");

app.Run();

Utmatning:

info: RequestTimingMiddleware[0]
      Request GET / completed in 12ms with status 200

Middleware Order-frågor

Den ordning i vilken du lägger middleware till rörledningen är kritisk. Här är den rekommenderade ordningen:

graph TD
    A[Exception Handler] --> B[HSTS]
    B --> C[HTTPS Redirection]
    C --> D[Static Files]
    D --> E[Routing]
    E --> F[CORS]
    F --> G[Authentication]
    G --> H[Authorization]
    H --> I[Custom Middleware]
    I --> J[Session]
    J --> K[Response Caching]
    K --> L[Response Compression]
    L --> M[Endpoints]

Varför denna order?

1. Undantagshanterare - Måste vara först att fånga alla undantag
2. HSTS-nummer - Säkerhetshuvud som ska ställas in tidigt
3. Omdirigering av HTTPS - Omdirigera till HTTPS före behandling
4. Statiska filer - Kan kortslutning tidigt för statiskt innehåll
5. Ruttning - Matchar begäran till en endpoint
6. KORN - Måste vara efter Routing och före Authentication
7. Behörighetskontroll - Identifierar vem användaren är
8. Godkännande - Bestämmer vad användaren kan göra
9. Anpassat mellanprogram - Din applikationslogik
10. Sammanträde - Sessionsstatsförvaltning
11. Caching för svar - Svar från Cache
12. Svarskompression - Komprimera svar
13. Slutpunkter - Kör det matchade effektmåttet

Låt oss se detta i kod:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services
builder.Services.AddAuthentication();
builder.Services.AddAuthorization();
builder.Services.AddResponseCaching();
builder.Services.AddResponseCompression();
builder.Services.AddSession();
builder.Services.AddCors();

var app = builder.Build();

// 1. Exception handling (must be first)
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/error");
    app.UseHsts(); // HTTP Strict Transport Security
}

// 2. HTTPS redirection
app.UseHttpsRedirection();

// 3. Static files (can short-circuit)
app.UseStaticFiles();

// 4. Routing (matches endpoints)
app.UseRouting();

// 5. CORS (after routing, before auth)
app.UseCors();

// 6. Authentication (who are you?)
app.UseAuthentication();

// 7. Authorization (what can you do?)
app.UseAuthorization();

// 8. Custom middleware
app.UseRequestTiming();

// 9. Session
app.UseSession();

// 10. Response caching
app.UseResponseCaching();

// 11. Response compression
app.UseResponseCompression();

// 12. Endpoints
app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");

app.Run();

Inbyggd Middleware Djupdykning

Undantagshanterare Middleware

Fångar undantag från senare middleware och genererar felsvar:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Global exception handler
app.UseExceptionHandler(errorApp =>
{
    errorApp.Run(async context =>
    {
        context.Response.StatusCode = 500;
        context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";

        var error = context.Features.Get<IExceptionHandlerFeature>();
        if (error != null)
        {
            var ex = error.Error;

            await context.Response.WriteAsJsonAsync(new
            {
                error = new
                {
                    message = ex.Message,
                    type = ex.GetType().Name,
                    stackTrace = app.Environment.IsDevelopment() ? ex.StackTrace : null
                }
            });
        }
    });
});

// This will be caught by the exception handler
app.MapGet("/error", () =>
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException("Something went wrong!");
});

app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");

app.Run();

Provning:

$ curl http://localhost:5000/error
{
  "error": {
    "message": "Something went wrong!",
    "type": "InvalidOperationException",
    "stackTrace": "..."
  }
}

Statiska filer Middleware

Serverar statiska filer och kortslutningar rörledningen:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Default: serves files from wwwroot/
app.UseStaticFiles();

// Serve files from additional directory
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
    FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
        Path.Combine(builder.Environment.ContentRootPath, "MyStaticFiles")),
    RequestPath = "/StaticFiles"
});

// Custom file type (MIME mapping)
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
provider.Mappings[".myapp"] = "application/x-myapp";

app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
    ContentTypeProvider = provider
});

// Enable directory browsing (development only!)
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseDirectoryBrowser(new DirectoryBrowserOptions
    {
        FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
            Path.Combine(builder.Environment.ContentRootPath, "wwwroot")),
        RequestPath = "/browse"
    });
}

app.Run();

Flödesschema:

    C --> D[Return 200]
    B -->|File not found| E[Call next middleware]

    style G stroke:#ef4444,stroke-width:3px

Behörighetskontroll Middleware

Autentiserar användaren baserat på begäran:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add authentication services
builder.Services.AddAuthentication("Cookies")
    .AddCookie("Cookies", options =>
    {
        options.LoginPath = "/login";
        options.LogoutPath = "/logout";
        options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(1);
    })
    .AddJwtBearer("Bearer", options =>
    {
        options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
        {
            ValidateIssuer = true,
            ValidateAudience = true,
            ValidateLifetime = true,
            ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
            ValidIssuer = "https://myapp.com",
            ValidAudience = "https://myapp.com",
            IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(
                Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("your-secret-key-here"))
        };
    });

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication(); // Must be before UseAuthorization()

app.MapGet("/public", () => "Anyone can access this");

app.MapGet("/protected", () => "Only authenticated users can access this")
    .RequireAuthorization();

app.MapGet("/login", async (HttpContext context) =>
{
    var claims = new[]
    {
        new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, "testuser"),
        new Claim(ClaimTypes.Email, "[email protected]")
    };

    var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, "Cookies");
    var principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);

    await context.SignInAsync("Cookies", principal);

    return Results.Ok("Logged in");
});

app.Run();

Auktorisering Middleware

Bestämmer om en autentiserad användare har behörighet att komma åt en resurs:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddAuthentication("Cookies")
    .AddCookie("Cookies");

// Configure authorization policies
builder.Services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
    // Policy: Requires specific claim
    options.AddPolicy("AdminOnly", policy =>
        policy.RequireClaim("role", "admin"));

    // Policy: Requires age over 18
    options.AddPolicy("Adults", policy =>
        policy.RequireAssertion(context =>
        {
            var ageClaim = context.User.FindFirst("age");
            if (ageClaim != null && int.TryParse(ageClaim.Value, out var age))
            {
                return age >= 18;
            }
            return false;
        }));

    // Policy: Combines requirements
    options.AddPolicy("AdminOrManager", policy =>
        policy.RequireAssertion(context =>
            context.User.HasClaim("role", "admin") ||
            context.User.HasClaim("role", "manager")));
});

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

// No authorization required
app.MapGet("/public", () => "Public endpoint");

// Requires authentication
app.MapGet("/authenticated", () => "Authenticated endpoint")
    .RequireAuthorization();

// Requires specific policy
app.MapGet("/admin", () => "Admin only endpoint")
    .RequireAuthorization("AdminOnly");

// Multiple policies
app.MapGet("/restricted", () => "Adults and admins only")
    .RequireAuthorization("Adults", "AdminOnly");

app.Run();

KORS Middleware

Hanterar resursdelning över Ursprung:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Configure CORS policies
builder.Services.AddCors(options =>
{
    // Policy 1: Allow all
    options.AddPolicy("AllowAll", policy =>
    {
        policy.AllowAnyOrigin()
              .AllowAnyMethod()
              .AllowAnyHeader();
    });

    // Policy 2: Specific origin
    options.AddPolicy("AllowSpecificOrigin", policy =>
    {
        policy.WithOrigins("https://example.com", "https://app.example.com")
              .AllowAnyMethod()
              .AllowAnyHeader()
              .AllowCredentials(); // Important for cookies/auth
    });

    // Policy 3: Specific methods and headers
    options.AddPolicy("RestrictedAccess", policy =>
    {
        policy.WithOrigins("https://partner.com")
              .WithMethods("GET", "POST")
              .WithHeaders("Content-Type", "Authorization")
              .WithExposedHeaders("X-Custom-Header")
              .SetPreflightMaxAge(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10));
    });

    // Default policy
    options.AddDefaultPolicy(policy =>
    {
        policy.WithOrigins("https://trustedsite.com")
              .AllowAnyMethod()
              .AllowAnyHeader();
    });
});

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseRouting();

// Apply CORS globally
app.UseCors("AllowSpecificOrigin");

// Or apply per endpoint
app.MapGet("/api/data", () => new { data = "Hello" })
    .RequireCors("AllowAll");

app.MapGet("/api/restricted", () => new { data = "Restricted" })
    .RequireCors("RestrictedAccess");

app.Run();

Svar Caching Middleware

Caches svar för att förbättra prestanda:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddResponseCaching();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseResponseCaching();

// Cache this endpoint
app.MapGet("/cached", (HttpContext context) =>
{
    context.Response.Headers.CacheControl = "public,max-age=60"; // Cache for 60 seconds
    return $"Generated at {DateTime.UtcNow:HH:mm:ss}";
});

// Don't cache this
app.MapGet("/no-cache", (HttpContext context) =>
{
    context.Response.Headers.CacheControl = "no-cache";
    return $"Generated at {DateTime.UtcNow:HH:mm:ss}";
});

// Conditional caching
app.MapGet("/data", (HttpContext context, string? cache) =>
{
    if (cache == "yes")
    {
        context.Response.Headers.CacheControl = "public,max-age=30";
    }

    return new
    {
        timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow,
        data = "Some data"
    };
});

app.Run();

Provning:

# First request - generates response and caches it
$ curl -i http://localhost:5000/cached

# Second request within 60 seconds - served from cache
$ curl -i http://localhost:5000/cached

Cache-Control: public,max-age=60
Age: 15  # Cache age in seconds

Generated at 10:30:00  # Same response!

Svar Kompression Middleware

Komprimerar svar för att minska bandbredden:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddResponseCompression(options =>
{
    options.EnableForHttps = true; // Enable for HTTPS (be aware of CRIME attack)

    // Providers (order matters - tried in sequence)
    options.Providers.Add<BrotliCompressionProvider>();
    options.Providers.Add<GzipCompressionProvider>();

    // MIME types to compress
    options.MimeTypes = ResponseCompressionDefaults.MimeTypes.Concat(
        new[] { "application/json", "text/plain", "text/css", "application/javascript" });
});

// Configure compression levels
builder.Services.Configure<BrotliCompressionProviderOptions>(options =>
{
    options.Level = CompressionLevel.Fastest; // Fastest, Optimal, SmallestSize
});

builder.Services.Configure<GzipCompressionProviderOptions>(options =>
{
    options.Level = CompressionLevel.Optimal;
});

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseResponseCompression();

app.MapGet("/large", () =>
{
    // Generate large response
    var data = string.Join("", Enumerable.Repeat("Hello World! ", 1000));
    return Results.Text(data, "text/plain");
});

app.Run();

Provning:

# Without compression
$ curl -H "Accept-Encoding:" http://localhost:5000/large
# Response: ~13KB

# With gzip
$ curl -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://localhost:5000/large
# Response: ~100 bytes (compressed)
# Header: Content-Encoding: gzip

# With brotli (better compression)
$ curl -H "Accept-Encoding: br" http://localhost:5000/large
# Response: ~60 bytes (compressed)
# Header: Content-Encoding: br

Skapa anpassade Middleware: Real-World exempel

Begär ID Middleware

Lägger till en unik identifierare för varje begäran om spårning:

public class RequestIdMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    private readonly ILogger<RequestIdMiddleware> _logger;

    public RequestIdMiddleware(RequestDelegate next, ILogger<RequestIdMiddleware> logger)
    {
        _next = next;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
    {
        // Check if request already has an ID (from client)
        var requestId = context.Request.Headers["X-Request-ID"].FirstOrDefault()
                       ?? Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

        // Add to response headers
        context.Response.Headers["X-Request-ID"] = requestId;

        // Store in HttpContext for other middleware/endpoints to access
        context.Items["RequestId"] = requestId;

        // Use scope for structured logging
        using (_logger.BeginScope(new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            ["RequestId"] = requestId
        }))
        {
            _logger.LogInformation("Processing request {RequestId}", requestId);

            await _next(context);

            _logger.LogInformation("Completed request {RequestId}", requestId);
        }
    }
}

API-nyckel behörighetskontroll Middleware

Egen behörighetskontroll för API-nycklar:

public class ApiKeyMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    private readonly IConfiguration _configuration;
    private const string API_KEY_HEADER = "X-API-Key";

    public ApiKeyMiddleware(RequestDelegate next, IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        _next = next;
        _configuration = configuration;
    }

    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
    {
        // Skip authentication for public endpoints
        if (context.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/public"))
        {
            await _next(context);
            return;
        }

        // Check for API key in header
        if (!context.Request.Headers.TryGetValue(API_KEY_HEADER, out var providedKey))
        {
            context.Response.StatusCode = 401;
            await context.Response.WriteAsJsonAsync(new { error = "API Key is missing" });
            return;
        }

        // Validate API key (in production, check against database)
        var validApiKey = _configuration["ApiKey"];
        if (providedKey != validApiKey)
        {
            context.Response.StatusCode = 403;
            await context.Response.WriteAsJsonAsync(new { error = "Invalid API Key" });
            return;
        }

        // Set user identity based on API key
        var claims = new[] { new Claim("ApiKey", providedKey!) };
        var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, "ApiKey");
        context.User = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);

        await _next(context);
    }
}

Betygsbegränsning av Middleware

Begränsar förfrågningar per IP-adress:

public class RateLimitingMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    private readonly IMemoryCache _cache;
    private readonly int _requestLimit;
    private readonly TimeSpan _timeWindow;

Förgrenning av mellanprodukter

Du kan förgrena rörledningen baserat på villkor:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Map: Creates a branch based on path prefix
app.Map("/api", apiApp =>
{
    apiApp.UseMiddleware<ApiKeyMiddleware>();
    apiApp.MapGet("/data", () => new { data = "API data" });
});

// MapWhen: Creates a branch based on custom condition
app.MapWhen(
    context => context.Request.Headers.ContainsKey("X-Custom-Header"),
    customApp =>
    {
        customApp.Use(async (context, next) =>
        {
            context.Response.Headers["X-Custom-Response"] = "Matched!";
            await next(context);
        });

        customApp.MapGet("/special", () => "Special endpoint");
    });

// UseWhen: Rejoins the main pipeline after the branch
app.UseWhen(
    context => context.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/admin"),
    adminApp =>
    {
        adminApp.Use(async (context, next) =>
        {
            // Log admin access
            Console.WriteLine("Admin area accessed");
            await next(context);
        });
    });

app.MapGet("/", () => "Main pipeline");

app.Run();

Förgreningsvisualisering:

graph TD
    A[Request] --> B{Path?}
    B -->|/api/*| C[API Branch]
    B -->|/admin/*| D[Admin Branch UseWhen]
    B -->|Other| E[Main Pipeline]

    C --> F[API Key Middleware]
    F --> G[API Endpoints]
    G --> Z1[Response]

    D --> H[Admin Logging]
    H --> I[Rejoin Main Pipeline]
    I --> J[Main Pipeline Continues]
    J --> Z2[Response]

    E --> K[Main Endpoints]
    K --> Z3[Response]

Middleware bästa metoder

1. Håll Middleware fokuserad

Varje middleware bör ha ett enda ansvar:

// ❌ Bad: Doing too much
public class BadMiddleware
{
    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
    {
        // Authentication
        // Authorization
        // Logging
        // Rate limiting
        // Response modification
        // ... too much!
    }
}

// ✅ Good: Single responsibility
public class AuthenticationMiddleware { /* Only authentication */ }
public class LoggingMiddleware { /* Only logging */ }
public class RateLimitingMiddleware { /* Only rate limiting */ }

2. Hantera undantag på rätt sätt

public class SafeMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    private readonly ILogger<SafeMiddleware> _logger;

    public SafeMiddleware(RequestDelegate next, ILogger<SafeMiddleware> logger)
    {
        _next = next;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
    {
        try
        {
            await _next(context);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            _logger.LogError(ex, "Error in middleware");

            // Don't swallow exceptions - let exception handler middleware handle them
            throw;
        }
    }
}

3. Respektera gensvaret

Ändra inte svaret efter att det har börjat:

public class ResponseSafeMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;

    public ResponseSafeMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
    {
        _next = next;
    }

    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
    {
        //  Good: Check before modifying
        if (!context.Response.HasStarted)
        {
            context.Response.Headers["X-Custom-Header"] = "Value";
        }

        await _next(context);

        //  Bad: Response might have already started
        // context.Response.Headers["X-After-Header"] = "Value"; // This might throw!

        // ✅ Good: Check first
        if (!context.Response.HasStarted)
        {
            context.Response.Headers["X-After-Header"] = "Value";
        }
    }
}

4. Använd injektionsberoende på ett förståndigt sätt

public class DIAwareMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    //  Singleton services injected in constructor
    private readonly ILogger<DIAwareMiddleware> _logger;

    public DIAwareMiddleware(RequestDelegate next, ILogger<DIAwareMiddleware> logger)
    {
        _next = next;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    //  Scoped/Transient services injected in InvokeAsync
    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context, IMyService myService)
    {
        // myService is scoped to this request
        var data = await myService.GetDataAsync();

        await _next(context);
    }
}

Nyckeluttagningar

• Middleware är hjärtat av begäran bearbetning i ASP.NET Core
• Varje middleware lindar nästa, skapa en näste kedja
• Middleware ordning är kritisk – undantagshanterare först, endpoints sist
• Middleware kan kortslutning genom att inte ringa next()
• Inbyggd middleware hanterar vanliga problem (statiska filer, auth, CORS, caching, komprimering)
• Anpassad middleware utökar ramen för tillämpningsspecifika behov
• Användning app.Use() för inline middleware, klasser för komplexa middleware
• Middleware kan förgrena rörledningen med Map() och MapWhen()
• Kontrollera alltid Response.HasStarted innan rubriker ändras
• Injicera singleton-tjänster i konstruktören, omfattande tjänster i InvokeAsync()

Förstå middleware ger dig fullständig kontroll över hur förfrågningar behandlas. Varje övergripande problem – från loggning till autentisering till anpassad affärslogik – kan elegant hanteras som middleware.
