};

class Router {
  constructor() {
    // other initialization logic
    this.middleware = new Middleware('before', 'after');
    this.before(matchRoutes); // register matchRoutes middleware
    this.after(updateView); // register updateView Middleware
  }

  before(fn) {
    this.middleware.use(fn, 'before');
  }

  after(fn) {
    this.middleware.use(fn, 'after');
  }

  async navigate(request) {
    const beforeResponse = await this.middleware.iterateMiddleware(request, 'before', Object.assign({}, request)); // middleware functions expect request, and optional response
    await this.middleware.iterateMiddleware(request, 'after', beforeResponse);
  }

  // ... other Router logic
}
