Are there any specific middleware needed for GraphQL in Laravel 11


Yes, there are specific middleware needed for GraphQL in Laravel 11. Here are the key points:

- The `rebing/graphql-laravel` package supports HTTP middleware, GraphQL execution middleware, and GraphQL resolver middleware[1].

- HTTP middleware can be applied globally for all GraphQL endpoints via the `graphql.route.middleware` config, or per-schema via `graphql.schemas..middleware`[1].

- GraphQL execution middleware is applied during the processing of a GraphQL request. It can be set globally via `graphql.execution_middleware` or per-schema via `graphql.schemas..execution_middleware`[1].

- Resolver middleware is executed for each query/mutation before the actual `resolve()` method is called[1].

So in summary, you can apply HTTP middleware globally or per-schema, execution middleware to control the GraphQL request processing flow, and resolver middleware to add custom logic before each query/mutation is resolved. The specific middleware needed depends on your application requirements.
