The custom middleware is not working in the controller (Laravel)

I did a custom middleware to handle the auth api token and I call this middleware in the controller, but it's not working I added dd('') inside the middleware to see if it displays anything and it did not worked.

My middleware is:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

use App\ApiUser;

class ApiAuth
{
/**
 * Run the request filter.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Closure  $next
 * @return mixed
 */
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $var)
{
   dd('If I put this dd it does not display anything');

    $api_user_count = ApiAuth::where('api_token', $var)->count();

    if($api_user_count == 0)
    {
        abort(403, "Auth failed")
    }
    
    return $next($request)
 }
}

My controller is, how you can see I am sending a parameter to the middleware:

/**
 * Remove the specified resource from storage.
 *
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function store(Request $request)
{
    $this->middleware('apiauth:'.$request->api_token);

    $transaction = new Transaction;

    $transaction->folio = $request->folio;

    $transaction->dte_code = $request->dte_code;

    $transaction->cashier = $request->cashier;

    $transaction->amount = $request->amount;

    if($transaction->save())
    {
        return response()->json('Ok', 201);
    }
    else
    {
        return response()->json('Error', 400);
    }
}

I put the middleware in the path App\Http\Middleware\ApiAuth.php

I put the middleware in the kernel.php like this:

/**
 * The application's route middleware.
 *
 * These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'auth' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
    'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
    'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
    'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
    'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
    'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
    'apiauth' => \App\Http\Middleware\ApiAuth::class, // THIS IS THE MINE
];

The weird thing is that it does not display any error, it's like it does not exist so I wonder what it's wrong with this?

Thanks!

instead of calling the middleware manually from your controller method you can register the middleware to apply only for that one method

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('apiauth')->only(['store']);
}

then you can extract the api_token from $request

$api_user_count = ApiAuth::where('api_token', $request-> api_token)->get()->count();
