Injecting container into middleware? about zend-expressive HOT 2 CLOSED

@moderndeveloperllc You mix the concepts a bit :)
A middleware should not be its own factory. What you can and should do is register a middleware factory as a service in your container.
Then follow the docs to let zend-expressive lazy-load your middleware:

• https://github.com/zendframework/zend-expressive/blob/master/doc/book/usage-examples.md#using-the-container-to-register-middleware
• https://github.com/zendframework/zend-expressive/blob/master/doc/book/usage-examples.md#lazy-loaded-middleware

See the lazy-load example. middleware is a service name in the example and used to get the invokeable middleware from the container. When your factory is registered with such a service name it gets the container injected when it is invoked.
See the Factory-Driven Creation of a router for example (a router is a middleware). Same works for any other middleware. Your factory can get further dependencies from the container and create the invokable middleware.

@codeliner Yeah - my bad. Never ask a question right before bed! I meant to say have a factory for the middleware in the factories service config, instead of the middleware class as a line in invokables. Thanks for pointing out the example I missed. I would have use a __construct() instead of __invoke() on the factory class.
