Middleware functions are special functions that sit between the client’s request and the server’s response. They perform important tasks such as checking if a user is authorized, validating data, or logging information.
This folder contains middleware functions that help handle specific tasks, such as:
- Authentication: Verifying that a user is who they claim to be.
- Validation: Checking that incoming data is correct and secure.
The folder contains the following middleware files:
admin.js: This file checks if a user has admin privileges by verifying their credentials against environment variables 🔑captcha.js: This file ensures that Google ReCAPTCHA v2 has been completed to prevent bot attacks 🤖
Each middleware file exports a function that can be used to:
- Validate Requests: Make sure the request meets certain criteria before processing it.
- Authenticate Users: Check if a user has the right permissions to access certain resources.
- Log Information: Record details about the request for debugging or monitoring.
