# Middleware
We should mention that Iris is compatible with **ALL** net/http middleware out there,
You are not restricted to so-called 'iris-made' middleware. They do exists, mostly, for your learning curve.
Navigate through [iris-contrib/middleware](https://github.com/iris-contrib/through) repository to view iris-made 'middleware'.
> By the word 'middleware', we mean a single or a collection of route handlers which may execute before/or after the main route handler.
## Installation
```sh
$ go get github.com/iris-contrib/middleware/...
```
## How can I register a middleware?
```go
app := iris.New()
/* per root path and all its children */
app.Use(logger)
/* execute always last */
// app.Done(logger)
/* per-route, order matters. */
// app.Get("/", logger, indexHandler)
/* per party (group of routes) */
// userRoutes := app.Party("/user", logger)
// userRoutes.Post("/login", loginAuthHandler)
```
## How 'hard' is to create an Iris middleware?
```go
myMiddleware := func(ctx *iris.Context){
/* using ctx.Set you can transfer ANY data between handlers,
use ctx.Get("welcomed") to get its value on the next handler(s).
*/
ctx.Set("welcomed", true)
println("My middleware!")
}
```
> func(ctx *iris.Context) is just the `iris.HandlerFunc` signature which implements the `iris.Handler`/ `Serve(Context)` method.
```go
app := iris.New()
/* root path and all its children */
app.UseFunc(myMiddleware)
app.Get("/", indexHandler)
```
## Convert `http.Handler` to `iris.Handler` using the `iris.ToHandler`
```go
app := iris.New()
sillyHTTPHandler := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request){
println(r.RequestURI)
})
app.Use(iris.ToHandler(sillyHTTPHandler))
```
