Litestar Middleware

Use this skill for built-in middleware config, custom ASGI middleware, request lifecycle hooks, and auth user loading.

Code Style Rules

• Use built-in middleware configs before custom middleware.
• Keep middleware focused on cross-cutting request behavior.
• Filter by ASGI scope when middleware applies only to HTTP or WebSocket.
• Keep business policy in Guards and services.

Quick Reference

• Middleware patterns: middleware.md
• Pair with litestar-auth-guards for permission checks.
• Pair with litestar-deployment for proxy and platform concerns.
