Configure Global Middleware

Global usage To allow middleware automatically set your locale for all your routes, add the LangSwwitcher middleware in the $middleware property of app/Http/Kernel.php class:

    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            // ...
            \TopviewDigital\LangSwitcher\Middleware\LangSwitcher::class,
        ],
        //...

Register Your Guard Middleware

In the bootstrap or your service provider

//Auth::user() is the guard method to get login user model, which could access the user field for setting locale
\TopviewDigital\LangSwitcher\Model\LangSwitcher::registerGuard(['class'=>'Auth','method'=>'user','middleware'=>'web']);

or you may reference the below sample language switcher controller to register your guard

<?php

namespace App\Backend\Controllers\API;

use App\User;
use Encore\Admin\Facades\Admin;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use TopviewDigital\LangSwitcher\Model\LangSwitcher;

class LanguageSelector extends Controller
{

    public function index()
    {
        LangSwitcher::registerGuard(['class' => 'Admin', 'method' => 'user', 'middleware' => 'admin']);
        LangSwitcher::switchLocale();
        return back();
    }
}
