## MiddlewareBindingOptions.upstreamGroups property

An array of group names for upstream middleware in the cascading order.

For example, the `invokeMethod` depends on `parseParams` for request processing. The `upstreamGroups` for `invokeMethod` should be `['parseParams']`<!-- -->. The order of groups in the array does not matter.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
upstreamGroups?: string | string[];
```
