- brightball 3mo agoI never understood that terminology since the middleware was always on the server too.
- macintux 3mo agoI thought of middleware as sitting on one server, with the database behind it typically on another.
- brightball 3mo agoYea, I've seen that often. Some people would call any server side code middleware.
- elliotec 3mo agoIt can be on the client side. Middleware just means something between the operations of the application on a server and operations of the application on a client. Doesn't matter where it sits, it's just the link. But to the parent comment, yes, I agree, this is a middleware.
