middlewares

Define custom tRPC middleware using t.procedure.use() and t.middleware() for server-side logging and tracing. You can access raw input with getRawInput() to capture request details and execution timing for procedure calls.

Context extension in tRPC middleware passes additional information downstream using opts.next({ ctx }). This mechanism builds reusable middleware layers that enrich the base server context with custom data for subsequent procedures.

Define base procedures like publicProcedure and authedProcedure by composing tRPC middleware. This establishes reusable procedure definitions that enforce specific context requirements, such as verifying user authentication, across your server routes.

Yes, you need TypeScript and the @trpc/server library installed. This Skill develops server-side middleware specifically within the tRPC environment, requiring both dependencies to define custom procedures and extend the request context.

Yes, you can access raw input inside tRPC middleware using the getRawInput() method. This allows you to intercept and log incoming request payloads before they are processed by the main procedure handler.
