TLDR

This file defines an interface named ControllerDispatcher in the namespace Illuminate\Routing\Contracts. The interface provides two methods: dispatch and getMiddleware for dispatching requests to controllers and getting middleware for controller instances, respectively.

Methods

dispatch

getMiddleware

Gets the middleware for the controller instance.

The above methods are part of the ControllerDispatcher interface.

<?php

namespace Illuminate\Routing\Contracts;

use Illuminate\Routing\Route;

interface ControllerDispatcher
{
    /**
     * Dispatch a request to a given controller and method.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Routing\Route  $route
     * @param  mixed  $controller
     * @param  string  $method
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function dispatch(Route $route, $controller, $method);

    /**
     * Get the middleware for the controller instance.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Routing\Controller  $controller
     * @param  string  $method
     * @return array
     */
    public function getMiddleware($controller, $method);
