Middleware just on post route

[matheusrocha89]

Hi people,
I have a situation where I created an authorization middleware for my API. The situation is that I use the middleware with nextConnect and then I do:

const handler = nextConnect();

handler.use(databaseMiddleware);

handler.get(.........);
handler.post(.......);

export default handler

I want to use my authorization middleware just for the post route and not for the get. But if I do handler.use() it will be used by both, is there a way to do that?

Hi! What about this?

handler.post('/', databaseMiddleware);

Thanks @musme I will try that.

I should have thought that but I was very busy and the brain was tired 😄

When I do that he can't find the route, give me 404.

Can you try without '/' ?

handler.post(databaseMiddleware, yourPostHandle);

Same thing, 404. The only solution I found was doing this:

import nextConnect from 'next-connect';

import {
  firebaseMiddleware,
  authorizationMiddleware,
} from '../../../middlewares';

const handler = nextConnect();
const commonMiddlewares = nextConnect();
const handlerWithAuth = nextConnect();

commonMiddlewares.use(firebaseMiddleware);
handlerWithAuth.use(authorizationMiddleware);

handlerWithAuth.post(async (req, res) => { ... });

handler
  .use(commonMiddlewares)
  .post(authHandler);

export default handler;

Found the issue, your way is correct @musme
Our middleware was created in a wrong way, that's why your first solution was giving me 404, but now it's working perfectly the way you said. Thanks.
