# some

**Kind:** Function

**Source:** [`src/middleware/combine/index.ts`](https://github.com/honojs/hono/blob/main/src/middleware/combine/index.ts#L38)

**Part of:** [Middleware](subsystem-src-middleware)

Create a composed middleware that runs the first middleware that returns true.

`some` creates a middleware composition that evaluates child middleware in order. It stops when a middleware returns `true`, allowing matching middleware to handle the current context without continuing to later handlers.

## Signature

```ts
function some(middleware: (MiddlewareHandler | Condition)[]): MiddlewareHandler
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type |
|---|---|
| `middleware` | `(MiddlewareHandler | Condition)[]` |

**Returns:** `MiddlewareHandler`

```

## Usage

```ts
import { some } from "./middleware/combine";

type RequestContext = {
  path: string;
  response?: string;
};

const handleHealthCheck = async (ctx: RequestContext) => {
  if (ctx.path !== "/health") return false;

  ctx.response = "ok";
  return true;
};

const handleNotFound = async (ctx: RequestContext) => {
  ctx.response = "not found";
  return true;
};

const handleRequest = some(handleHealthCheck, handleNotFound);

const ctx: RequestContext = { path: "/health" };

await handleRequest(ctx);

console.log(ctx.response); // "ok"
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep middleware ordered from the most specific match to the fallback handler.
- Return `true` only when the middleware has handled the context and later middleware should not run.
- Return `false` when the middleware does not match so `some` can continue evaluating handlers.
- Add fallback middleware last when unmatched contexts need a default response.
