  3. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityResolverManager.php \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityResolverManager::getControllerClass()

Gets the controller class using route defaults.

By design we cannot support all possible routes, but just the ones which use the defaults provided by core, which are _controller and _form.

Rather than creating an instance of every controller determine the class and method that would be used. This is not possible for the service:method notation as the runtime container does not allow static introspection.

Parameters

array $defaults: The default values provided by the route.

Return value

string|null Returns the controller class, otherwise NULL.
