Hello

I try to add Middleware in my tested module, for get and check request token, but I have this error

```auto
Additional information:
Laminas\Mvc\Middleware\InvalidMiddlewareException

File:

    /var/www/html/local/laminas/vendor/laminas/laminas-mvc-middleware/src/InvalidMiddlewareException.php:58

my router is :

```auto
    'router' => [
        'routes' => [
            'test' => [
                'type' => Literal::class,

                    ],
                ],
           ],
       ],

```

Middleware class :

```auto
<?php

namespace User\Middleware;

use Fig\Http\Message\StatusCodeInterface;
use Laminas\Router\RouteMatch;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\MiddlewareInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;
use User\Repository\AccountRepositoryInterface;

class AuthenticationMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    /** @var AccountRepositoryInterface */
    public $accountRepository;

    /** @var ResponseFactoryInterface */
    public $responseFactory;

    public function __construct(AccountRepositoryInterface $accountRepository, ResponseFactoryInterface $responseFactory)
    {
        $this->accountRepository = $accountRepository;
        $this->responseFactory = $responseFactory;
    }

    public function process(ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
    {
        /** @var RouteMatch $routeMatch */
        $routeMatch = $request->getAttribute(RouteMatch::class);
        $userId = $routeMatch->getParam('id');
        $account = $this->accountRepository->getAccount(['id' => $userId]);

        // if no album was found, we short-circuit the pipe and return a 404 error:
        if ($account === null) {
            return $this->responseFactory->createResponse(
                StatusCodeInterface::STATUS_NOT_FOUND,
                sprintf('Album with ID %s not found!', $userId)
            );
        }

        // ...otherwise we populate the request with the album and call the RequestHandler
        $request = $request->withAttribute('account', $account);
        return $handler->handle($request);
    }
}

```

and handler class

```auto
<?php

namespace User\Handler;

use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\StreamFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;

class AuthenticationHandler implements RequestHandlerInterface
{
    /** @var ResponseFactoryInterface */
    public $responseFactory;

    /** @var StreamFactoryInterface */
    public $streamFactory;

    public function __construct(ResponseFactoryInterface $responseFactory, StreamFactoryInterface $streamFactory)
    {
        $this->responseFactory = $responseFactory;
        $this->streamFactory = $streamFactory;
    }

    public function handle(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
       // /** @var $album */
        $account = $request->getAttribute('account');

        $body = $this->streamFactory->createStream('The name of the user is: ' . $account->getName());
        return $this->responseFactory->createResponse()->withBody($body);
    }
}

```

Can you please check it and tell me what is the problem? or perhaps I miss someting

It looks like your middleware is not registered.

Extend the module configuration:

`module/User/config/module.config.php`

```php
return [
    // …
    'service_manager' => [[
        'factories' => [
            User\Middleware\AuthenticationMiddleware::class => Laminas\ServiceManager\Factory\InvokableFactory::class,
        ],
    ],
    // …
];

```

Thank you so much, I registered the middleware and this problem was solved, now I need to improve my middleware to get a true result.

Perhaps is good if we can add a register section in the MVC-middleware doc. when I finish this part I try update doc and send pull request

thank you very much

Hello again  
I finally finish Middleware and check it, My use-case was to get a JWT token from UTL (as a query string) and check user

But if I understand true, in MVC I could not write global Middleware and run it before each request for the normal controller

If I want use Middleware, I should write Handler ( as a single action controller ). But can I use one Middleware for some of my Handler, for example, I want to create profile-view, profile-edit, logout, submit-post, and … actions ( All of them should be handlers) and get user token and check validation and after that run handler.

It’s true? and the best way for this use-case? or it better I write service for it and run it on controller or actions? or another way?

            ...
        ],

AuthenticationMiddleware

```auto
<?php

namespace User\Middleware;

use Fig\Http\Message\StatusCodeInterface;
use Laminas\Diactoros\StreamFactory;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\StreamFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\MiddlewareInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;
use User\Handler\AuthenticationHandler;
use User\Repository\AccountRepositoryInterface;
use User\Service\AuthService;

class AuthenticationMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    /** @var AccountRepositoryInterface */
    public $accountRepository;

    /** @var ResponseFactoryInterface */
    public $responseFactory;

    /** @var AuthService */
    protected $authService;

    /** @var AuthenticationHandler */
    protected $handler;

    /** @var StreamFactoryInterface */
    public $streamFactory;

    public function __construct(AccountRepositoryInterface $accountRepository, ResponseFactoryInterface $responseFactory)
    {
        $this->accountRepository = $accountRepository;
        $this->responseFactory = $responseFactory;
        $this->streamFactory = new StreamFactory();
        $this->authService = new AuthService();
        $this->handler = new AuthenticationHandler($this->responseFactory, $this->streamFactory);
    }

    public function process(ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
    {
        $params = $request->getQueryParams();

        if (!isset($params['token']) || empty($params['token'])) {
            die('to token !');
        }

        $token = $this->authService->parseToken($params['token']);

        if (empty($token)) {
            die('to token !');
        }

        $account = $this->accountRepository->getAccount(['id' => $token->uid]);

        if (empty($account)) {
            die('no user !');
        }

        if ($account === null) {
            return $this->responseFactory->createResponse(
                StatusCodeInterface::STATUS_NOT_FOUND,
                sprintf('Album with ID %s not found!', $token->uid)
            );
        }

        $request = $request->withAttribute('account', $account);
        return $this->handler->handle($request);
    }
}

```

AuthenticationHandler ( or another handler for example logout or update profile )

```auto
<?php

namespace User\Handler;

use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\StreamFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;

class AuthenticationHandler implements RequestHandlerInterface
{
    /** @var ResponseFactoryInterface */
    public $responseFactory;

    /** @var StreamFactoryInterface */
    public $streamFactory;

    public function __construct(ResponseFactoryInterface $responseFactory, StreamFactoryInterface $streamFactory)
    {
        $this->responseFactory = $responseFactory;
        $this->streamFactory = $streamFactory;
    }

    public function handle(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
        $account = $request->getAttribute('account');

        $body = $this->streamFactory->createStream('The name of the user is: ' . $account->getName());
        return $this->responseFactory->createResponse()->withBody($body);
    }
}

```

Questions:

1. I use `Laminas\Diactoros\StreamFactory` in middleware and as Psr `StreamFactoryInterface` in the handler, it true?
