Using getParsedBody in middleware

1

In a route i’m able to use $request->getParsedBody() to obtain values from the body. I use the values to do some validations. I would like to move these validations to middleware. Now when i access $request->getParsedBody() within my middleware, it returns NULL.

What is going on here? Is it not possible to read the body in middleware?

Check the config of your app and make sure determineRouteBeforeAppMiddleware is set and true:

'determineRouteBeforeAppMiddleware' => true

Then in your middleware (assuming JSON here):

$requestBody = $request->getBody();
$requestObject = json_decode($requestBody);

// code to validate or alter $requestObject 

$request = $request->withParsedBody($requestObject);
return $next($request, $response);

Thanks for your reply. It works great for me!
