Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can answer your question about modifying the request body in Nuxt 3 server middleware.

In Nuxt 3, the concept of

serverMiddleware

serverMiddleware

serverMiddleware

serverMiddleware has been replaced by the new server engine called Nitro. Nitro provides a more powerful and flexible way to handle server-side logic, including API routes and middleware.

To modify the request body, you can use Nitro's server middleware functionality. Here's how you can achieve this:

Create a file in the
```
server/middleware
```
server/middleware
```
server/middleware
```
server/middleware
directory of your Nuxt 3 project.
In this file, you can define a middleware handler using
```
defineEventHandler()
```
defineEventHandler()
```
defineEventHandler()
```
defineEventHandler()
that can access and modify the request.

Here's an example of how you might modify the request body:

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Read the original body
  const body = await readBody(event)

  // Modify the body
  body.additionalParam = 'your private token'

  // Set the modified body back to the event
  event.node.req.body = body
})

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Read the original body
  const body = await readBody(event)

  // Modify the body
  body.additionalParam = 'your private token'

  // Set the modified body back to the event
  event.node.req.body = body
})

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Read the original body
  const body = await readBody(event)

  // Modify the body
  body.additionalParam = 'your private token'

  // Set the modified body back to the event
  event.node.req.body = body
})

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Read the original body
  const body = await readBody(event)

  // Modify the body
  body.additionalParam = 'your private token'

  // Set the modified body back to the event
  event.node.req.body = body
})

This middleware will run for every request, allowing you to add your private token to the request body before it reaches your API routes or other server handlers.

It's important to note that while this approach can help prevent your private token from being displayed in front-end requests, it's not a secure method for handling sensitive information. For truly sensitive data, you should consider using environment variables on the server side or implementing a more robust authentication system.

For more information on Nuxt 3's server capabilities, you can refer to the Nuxt 3 Server Engine documentation.

Remember that this is a server-side operation, so the token won't be visible in the browser's network tab or in your client-side code.
