Writing Django Middleware (with tests!) | HTMX middleware | IP Blacklist middleware

Better Stack logging video:    • Django Middleware - Defining a Custom Logg...  

In this video, we look at how to write Middleware in Django applications, and the purpose and flow of these middleware in a Django application's request/response cycle.

We'll write a middleware that blocks IP addresses from accessing the app, along with corresponding Django tests for this functionality. We'll also write an HTMX Middleware that interrogates the request headers for an HTMX header, and sets a value on the Django Request object accordingly.
