The following example shows how to modify request headers in your Edge Middleware.
Your middleware file should be placed at the root of your project. If you are using the src directory, the file should be placed in the src directory.
middleware.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export default function middleware(request: Request) {
// Clone the request headers
// You can modify them with headers API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Headers
const requestHeaders = new Headers(request.headers);
// Add new request headers
requestHeaders.set('x-hello-from-middleware1', 'hello');
requestHeaders.set('x-hello-from-middleware2', 'world!');
// Update an existing request header
requestHeaders.set('user-agent', 'New User Agent overriden by middleware!');
// Delete an existing request header
requestHeaders.delete('x-from-client');
// You can also set request headers in NextResponse.rewrite
return NextResponse.next({
request: {
// New request headers
headers: requestHeaders,
},
});
