How can I create custom middleware in Django?

To create custom middleware in Django, you need to define a class with specific methods like init and call.

What methods do I need to implement in my middleware class?

You typically implement init, call, and optionally process_request and process_response methods.

Can you give me an example of a simple middleware?

Sure! Here's a simple middleware that logs the request path:

class SimpleMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response

    def __call__(self, request):
        print(request.path)
        response = self.get_response(request)
        return response

How do I add this middleware to my Django project?

You can add it to the MIDDLEWARE list in your settings.py file like this:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...,
    'myapp.middleware.SimpleMiddleware',
    ...,
]
