How to register a middleware for a specific route?

[gjfLeo]

In the document, it says:

Middleware in server/middleware/ directory are automatically registered for all routes. If you want to register a middleware for a specific route, see Object Syntax Event Handler.

But I have no idea how to use that. Is there any example? Like a middleware for "/images/:fileId"?

i dont think you can do that with the current nitro version. one way that i handeled that was to get getRequestURL and skip the middleware for certain routes:

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Skip middleware for certain routes 
  const url = getRequestURL(event)
  const skipRoutes = [
    '/api/public',
    '/api/auth',
    // Add other routes that don't need to be run
  ]

  // Check if current route should skip clinic context
  const shouldSkip = skipRoutes.some(route => url.pathname.startsWith(route))
  if (shouldSkip) {
    return
  }

  // Only run on API routes or specific paths
  if (!url.pathname.startsWith('/api/')) {
    return
  }

  try {
    // your logic here
  }
  catch (error: any) {
    // Handle errors appropriately
    if (error.statusCode) {
      throw error
    }

    throw createError({
      statusCode: 500,
      statusMessage: 'Failed to load clinic context',
    })
  }
})
