litestar-middleware

What problem does it solve?

Design and apply Litestar middleware to handle cross-cutting concerns across app/router/controller/handler layers, ensuring consistent behavior without polluting route-specific business logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Centralized middleware management with layer-aware attachment (application, router, controller, handler).
• Built-in configuration-first approach (CORS, CSRF, compression, rate limiting, logging, session handling, and policy enforcement) with safe customization.
• Use Case: In a large Litestar API, apply global policies like security headers, request logging, and rate limiting across many routes.

Quick Start

Attach a middleware component to your Litestar app to enforce cross-cutting policies across all routes.
