hi there i dont know if this is the best place for ask but is there any feature that we set middlware just for an app ? i know that the middlware already can do this by checking the url in the incoming request but i dont think this is the best, specially for projects that has many urls and routes …

Welcome @arminshfatemi ! [image] arminshfatemi: but is there any feature that we set middlware just for an app ? No. Middleware acts outside the “app” structure by referencing the request before it goes through the URL resolution to a view. [image] arminshfatemi: i know that the middle…

[image] KenWhitesell: Actually, it cannot. You cannot assume that any particular url is being handled by a specific app - if for no other reason than that it’s possible for other middleware to redirect the request. You kinda can. Checking for resolver_match.app_name/namespace is actually a go…

[image] arminshfatemi: my situation is where if i dont use middlware based on apps, What specifically are you looking for this middleware to do?

[image] arminshfatemi: possible to request this feature somewhere ? I don’t think it would have much of a chance. [image] arminshfatemi: my situation is where if i dont use middlware based on apps, i need to decorate every view for it for them. You could loop over the list of urlpatte…

thanks @apollo13 @KenWhitesell i almsot solve the problem and dont need it any more i was need to log every incoming request to the urls in that app, and do some special logic for every incoming request for that app but because the start of the urls of the app were not the same and dont start li…
