What is the order of middleware in Django?

What is the order of middleware in Django?

In Django, middleware is processed in the order they are defined in the MIDDLEWARE setting. The first middleware in the list is executed first.

Can you give me an example of how to set it up?

Sure! In your settings.py, you can define middleware like this:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

What happens if I change the order?

Changing the order can affect how requests and responses are processed. For example, if you place the AuthenticationMiddleware before the SessionMiddleware, the user won't be authenticated properly.
