Middleware

Middleware - functionalities that must be in the middle of the API route control flow

Purpose

This folder contains middleware functions that handle specific tasks, such as authentication and validation, between the client request and the server response.

Structure

The folder contains the following middleware files:

• admin.js: validates admin access by checking credentials against environment variables

• captcha.js: verifies Google ReCAPTCHA v2 responses to prevent bot attacks

Functionality

Each middleware file exports a function that can be used to validate or authenticate requests. These functions can be used to protect routes and ensure that only authorized requests are processed.
