-## Adding new middleware components
-
-Your middleware component can be contributed to the [components-contrib repository](https://github.com/dapr/components-contrib/tree/master/middleware).
-
-After the components-contrib change has been accepted, submit another pull request against the [Dapr runtime repository](https://github.com/dapr/dapr) to register the new middleware type. You'll need to modify **[runtime.WithHTTPMiddleware](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/f4d50b1369e416a8f7b93e3e226c4360307d1313/cmd/daprd/main.go#L394-L424)** method in [cmd/daprd/main.go](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/master/cmd/daprd/main.go) to register your middleware with Dapr's runtime.
