How to Override Default Auth Middleware Handler to Show a View Instead of Redirect?

Hi everyone,

I'm working with the default authentication middleware, and by default, when a user is not authenticated, the middleware redirects them to the login page.

However, I want to customize this behavior so that instead of redirecting, it directly shows a custom view (e.g., a "Please login to continue" page) without changing the URL or performing a redirect.

How can I override or customize the auth middleware's handler to achieve this? Any code examples or guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
