Filters in Laravel 5

Question

How do we make filters in Laravel 5? Is the idea of filters going away?

Answer 1

For the comment on before/after.

From the link above :

In Middleware..

#Before
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
   //Do stuff
   return $request;
}

#After
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
   $response = $next($request);

  // Do stuff {on $response}
   return $response;
}

Using ['middleware' => 'shortName'] should treat it accordingly.
