DispatcherInterface

Combined dispatcher contract for PhalconKit CLI dispatchers.

Native CLI modules need Phalcon's dispatcher interface, while shared PhalconKit diagnostics expect the framework dispatcher interface. This combined contract lets DI providers enforce both without depending on the concrete dispatcher class.

• Full name: \PhalconKit\Cli\DispatcherInterface
• Parent interfaces: Dispatcher, \PhalconKit\Dispatcher\DispatcherInterface

Inherited methods

canForward

Determine whether a forward target differs from the effective dispatch.

public canForward(array<string,mixed> $forward): bool

Resolve empty namespace/handler/action names to dispatcher defaults and preserve null/omitted parts without changing the live dispatch state. Module and parameter values remain part of the comparison. Controller takes precedence over task, matching native forward() in either mode. This is used by listeners that forward to error, maintenance, or unauthorized routes and need to avoid forwarding back to themselves.

Parameters:

toArray

Export dispatcher state for logs, diagnostics, and tests.

public toArray(): array<string,mixed>
