How to set an attribute to route definition in Slim4 and use it in a middleware

I need to set a custom attribute in the route definition and use it a route middleware. For example, I need to manage the refer page to redirect the user after the login.

This is my routes definition:

return function (App $app) {
    $app->get('/', Home::class. ':home')->setName('home');
    $app->get('/login', UserAction::class. ':getLogin')->setName('login')->setAttribute('norefer',true);
    $app->post('/login', UserAction::class. ':postLogin');
};

The ->setAttribute('norefer',true); is what I'm looking for and seems it doesn't exist.

I need this attribute using ->getAttribute("norefer") in a middleware so I can store the last referable page visited by the user:

public function process(ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
{
    $routeContext = RouteContext::fromRequest($request);
    $route = $routeContext->getRoute();
    if (!empty($route) && !$routeContext->getRoute()->getAttribute("norefer")) {
        $referName = $routeContext->getRoute()->getName();
        $referArgs = $routeContext->getRoute()->getArguments();
        $this->session->set("referName", $referName);
        $this->session->set("referArgs", $referArgs);
    }
    return $handler->handle($request);
}

So, in the session I can store the last referable page and use it after the login process to redirect the user to his page.

You could add a NoRefererMiddleware to routes you want to exclude from the redirection logic. NoRefererMiddleware just sets a noreferer attribute to the request object if its called.

<?php

use App\Middleware\NoRefererMiddleware;
use Slim\App;

return function (App $app) {
    $app->get('/', Home::class. ':home')->setName('home');
    $app->get('/login', UserAction::class. ':getLogin')->setName('login')->add(NoRefererMiddleware::class);
    $app->post('/login', UserAction::class. ':postLogin');
};

File: src/Middleware/NoRefererMiddleware.php

<?php

namespace App\Middleware;

use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\MiddlewareInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;

final class NoRefererMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    public function process(ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
    {
        $request = $request->withAttribute('noreferer', true);

        return $handler->handle($request);
    }
}

Usage

public function process(ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
{
    $noReferer = $request->getAttribute('noreferer');

    if ($noReferer !== true) {
        $routeContext = RouteContext::fromRequest($request);
        $route = $routeContext->getRoute();
        if ($route !== null) {
            $referName = $routeContext->getRoute()->getName();
            $referArgs = $routeContext->getRoute()->getArguments();
            $this->session->set('referName', $referName);
            $this->session->set('referArgs', $referArgs);
        }
    }

    return $handler->handle($request);
}
