$this->middleware() is not defined

[JorshBG]

Hi, I am working with Laravel 11 and I have a doubt.

Doubt

Use $this->middleware() was deprecated when we use it in the constructor of the AuthController class?

When I use it throws an error when I make a request and the IDE says that the function is not defined

My solution

Then, I delete these line and I placed the middleware in theapi.phpfile.

I wrote to like this:

Route::controller(AuthController::class)
    ->middleware('api')
    ->prefix('auth')
    ->group(function () {
        Route::post('refresh', 'refresh');
        Route::post('logout', 'logout');
    });

Route::controller(AuthController::class)
    ->prefix('auth')
    ->group(function () {
        Route::post('register', 'register');
        Route::post('login', 'login');
    });

Also, I only write api into the function middleware and not auth:api

PD: Using postman I added Accept: application/json in headers to retrieve the correct errors
