Unable to fetch key from config when appending a middleware to bootstrap/app.php

[binarweb]

Laravel Version
12.3.0

PHP Version
8.2.28

The manual states that cookie are encrypted by default and can be added to exceptions with:

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $middleware->encryptCookies(except: [
        'cookie_name',
    ]);
})

However, if one where to add those exceptions from a config file:

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $config = app()->make('config');

    $middleware->encryptCookies(except: [
        $config->get('language.cookie_name'),
    ]);
})

the config is not yet available in the container and would throw:

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Uncaught ReflectionException: Class "config" does not exist in /home/user/PHP-www/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php:1017
Stack trace:
#0 /home/user/PHP-www/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php(1017): ReflectionClass-&gt;__construct()
#1 /home/user/PHP-www/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php(890): Illuminate\Container\Container-&gt;build()
#2 /home/user/PHP-www/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Application.php(1078): Illuminate\Container\Container-&gt;resolve()

How would one bypass this exception and still load the config from container?

You can try the old laravel 10 way with service providers.

Because my app does not require cookie encryption, I disable it altogether.

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    // Remove the default middlewares
    $middleware->web(
        remove: [
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        ],
    );
})

@binarweb did you understood our comment? You can keep the above and also use what we suggested.

Your solution is cumbersome and does not match my needs. My solution solved my issues and with Laravel 12 code style.
