Registering PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance Middleware Laravel 11

[twd3]

I'm following this tip: https://statamic.dev/tips/excluding-the-control-panel-from-maintenance-mode
I know in V4 this was registered in the Kernel. Would I need to register this in /app/bootstrap/app.php? I also have this same question when reading this tip: https://statamic.dev/tips/content-security-policy
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

What have you tried?

Well I'm confused about if I even need to and I'm not sure the docs are up to date so I haven't tried anything. I did create the Middleware folder and put that class in there. I also don't know about what I would put there to register it. Would it be this:
$middleware->append(PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance::class);
Or this:

$middleware->alias([
    'PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance' => \App\Http\Middleware\PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance::class::class,
]);

In bootstrap/app.php you should be able to do something like this in laravel 11 with the new skeleton:

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $middleware->preventRequestsDuringMaintenance(except: [
        '/cp*'
    ]);
});

If you have the old skeleton I think you just have to change the usage of the existing PreventRequestsDuringMaintanance with your own. In one of my projects I have done it like this in the Http/Kernel file:

    protected $middleware = [
        ...
        \App\Http\Middleware\PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance::class,
        ...
    ];

I've updated the docs to include the steps for excluding URLs in Laravel 11 apps.

Thanks for the solution, @NeoIsRecursive!

I've updated the docs to mention the different steps for Laravel 11 applications.

Oh so I don't even have to put that preventRequestsDuringMaintenance.php in the Middleware folder? This is on a fresh V5 install so it's the new skeleton...

[NeoIsRecursive]

Yep :) A lot of the middlewares that were in the kernel was moved and can be modified through the Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware instance you get from ->withMiddleware instead.

Yup, just deleted that file in Middleware and tried below. Works great! Thank you!

    $middleware->preventRequestsDuringMaintenance(except: [
        '/cp*'
    ]);
