How does Laravel middleware work and when should it be used?

I am learning Laravel and I want to understand how middleware works. What is the purpose of middleware in Laravel, how does it process HTTP requests, and in which situations should middleware be used? Please explain with a simple example such as authentication or role-based access.

Laravel middleware acts as a filter between an incoming HTTP request and the application. It can check conditions before allowing a request to reach a controller. For example, authentication middleware checks whether a user is logged in, while role middleware can check whether the user is an administrator. If the required condition is not satisfied, middleware can redirect the user or return an unauthorized response.
