+# onBeforeSetupMiddleware
+
+Provides the ability to execute custom middleware prior to all other middleware internally within the server.
+
+**webpack.config.js**
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  // ...
+  devServer: {
+    onBeforeSetupMiddleware: (devServer) => {
+      devServer.app.get("/before/some/path", (_, response) => {
+        response.send("before");
+      });
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+To run this example use the following command:
+
+```console
+npx webpack serve --open
+```
+
+## What Should Happen
+
+1. The script should open `http://localhost:8080/` in your default browser.
+2. You should see the text on the page itself change to read `Success!`.
+3. Go to `http://localhost:8080/before/some/path`, you should see the text on the page itself change to read `before`.
