How to replace data in middleware on data submitting
Hello, In Laravel 5.8 app submitting form with the data I need to clear data, like doubled spaces, so I created middleware with clearing code :
app/Http/Middleware/WorkTextString.php :
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use App\Http\Traits\funcsTrait;
use function PHPSTORM_META\type;
class WorkTextString
{
use funcsTrait;
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $strip_tags_excluding= false )
{
$inputDataArray = $request->all();
\Log::info($request->all());
$stripTagsExcludingArray= $this->pregSplit('/ /',$strip_tags_excluding);
foreach( $inputDataArray as $next_field_name=>$next_field_value ) {
if ( !empty($next_field_value) and is_string($next_field_value) ) {
$skip_strip_tags= in_array($next_field_name,$stripTagsExcludingArray);
$inputDataArray[$next_field_name] = $this->workTextString($next_field_value, $skip_strip_tags);
}
}
\Log::info('$inputDataArray:: ::'); // I CHECK AND SEE CLEARED DATA!
\Log::info($inputDataArray);
$request->replace($inputDataArray); // THAT DOWS NOT WORK ?
// $request->merge($inputDataArray); // ALSO I TRIED THIS WAY - does not work
return $next($request);
}
}
But I see that submitted data are not cleared. Lokks like $request->replace does not work for me...
in routes/api.php :
Route::resource('skills', 'API\Admin\SkillController')->middleware('WorkTextString');
How correctly ?

Reading the article I suppose I have to use cleanData of my middleware, so O commented method I used before and added method :
private function cleanData(array $data)
{
\Log::info('$data:: ::');
\Log::info($data);
return collect($data)->map(function ($value, $key) {
\Log::info('$value:: ::');
\Log::info($value);
$value= 'Some text ';
return $value;
})->all();
}
Just to check and replace any value
BuT i got error in log file:

...
and no message I wrote in \Log::info... Which way is right ?
Level 5
Who replaced submitted data in middleware, please give a hint which method did you use ?
Level 73
I used set attributes for that instead.
public function setTitleAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['title'] = ucwords(strtolower($value));
}
It transforms the value before insert and update to the proper format.

Is it inside of model? You do not use any middleware ?
Level 73
@petrogromovo yes, inside the model. No need for middleware for this type of thing. @tray2 answer is what I'll do as well.
