Request Handling

BurgerAPI handles each request by running middleware (if any) and then the route handler. Middleware can short-circuit by returning a Response, or continue by returning undefined, or return a function to run after the handler (e.g. to modify the response).

Flow​

  1. Global middleware runs first (in order).
  2. Route-specific middleware runs next (if the route defines any).
  3. Route handler runs (e.g. GET, POST exported from route.ts).
  4. After-middleware (if a middleware returned a function) runs with the response.

Request object​

Handlers and middleware receive a BurgerRequest object (extends the standard request with params, validated, etc.). Use it to read headers, URL, and validated query/body from Zod validation.
