Middleware

The Next.js middleware primarily handles the transformation and routing for locales and langagues.

By default the Next.js application only accepts a single param for locales, the middleware is invoked on every requested to client facing pages and transforms the two parameters into a page re-write that Next.js can accept. The URL to the user has not changed, but under the hood it is different.

For Example:

https://content.rapha.cc/gb/en

# Will be
https://content.rapha.cc/gb-en

It will also read Cookies to try and pick up any language or region Cookies set by rapha.cc.

Non Live Paths

To hide some paths in production the middleware will redirect to 404 if the page path is in this string. The string can be a whole path, or just the start of a path

For Example:

/clubhouses/

# or to be more specific
/clubhouses/london
