At the moment middleware is executed in the order that it is registered.
This is fine if middleware is only registered in a single place, but in distributed setups, there may be multiple places in code (possibly across repos) that consumers may want to register middleware.
In order to allow some distributed way of defining an execution order of middlewares, this is a non-breaking change that lets consumers define an
order
for their middleware when registering:This
order
will be used to sort the middlewares, such that higherorder
execute after middleware with lowerorder
. Ties are broken on registration order (the current behaviour), since JavaScript's.sort()
is stable.The default value for
order
is0
, so if consumers want to run middleware before other middleware that has not specified anorder
, they will need to set a negativeorder
(which is legal):
