What are some examples of custom Django middleware?

Can you give me some examples of custom Django middleware?

Sure! Custom Django middleware can be used for various purposes. For example, you can create middleware to log requests and responses, handle user authentication, or modify the request/response objects.

How would I implement logging middleware?

To implement logging middleware, you can create a new Python file in your Django app, define a class with a __call__ method, and use the logging module to log the details of each request.

Can you show me a code snippet for that?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

import logging

class LoggingMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

    def __call__(self, request):
        self.logger.info(f'Request: {request.path}')
        response = self.get_response(request)
        self.logger.info(f'Response: {response.status_code}')
        return response

What other types of middleware can I create?

You can create middleware for session management, CORS handling, request throttling, or even for modifying response headers.
