## Advanced middleware usage ## Advanced middleware usage
The order in which middleware is stacked is important. Like with Rack, the first middleware on the list wraps all others, while the last middleware is the innermost one, so that's usually the adapter.

## Writing middleware ## Writing middleware
Middleware are classes that respond to `call()`. They wrap the request/response cycle. Middleware are classes that respond to `call()`. They wrap the request/response cycle.
def call(env) ```ruby
# do something with the request def call(env)
# do something with the request
@app.call(env).on_complete do @app.call(env).on_complete do
# do something with the response # do something with the response
end end
end end
```
It's important to do all processing of the response only in the `on_complete` block. This enables middleware to work in parallel mode where requests are asynchronous.

The `env` is a hash with symbol keys that contains info about the request and, later, response. Some keys are: The `env` is a hash with symbol keys that contains info about the request and, later, response. Some keys are:
