Laravel 11 Middleware: Can I still do $this->middleware()->only([]) ?

I am all love for Laravel 11, except for the middleware part. Until now, I could define my Middleware, register it in the Kernel and then simply say:

$this->middlware('my-middleware')->only(['create', 'store', 'edit', 'update'])

But that no longer seems to be the case. What's the best way to achieve the above functionality without having to assign the middleware to each individual route?

Larry AI does not seem to have read the Laravel 11 instructions. There's no Kernel.php in Laravel 11. :-/

Controller ?

Not prohibited to back to Laravel10 style.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController;

abstract class Controller extends BaseController
{
    //
}

You can continue to use $this->middleware() in the controller.

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth')->only(['index']);
    }
}

you mean to use that in controller? if so, check this: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/controllers#controller-middleware

just implement HasMiddleware in the controller and add a static middleware method, where you can specify your only/except actions:

public static function middleware(): array
    {
        return [
            'auth',
            new Middleware('log', only: ['index']),
            new Middleware('subscribed', except: ['store']),
        ];
    }

(example from the documentation mentioned above)

Wow. This section is in 'Controllers'. Why is this not in Middleware where I expect it to find! Thank you for this.
