The Front Controller is a design pattern that provides a centralized entry point for handling requests in a web application. The Front Controller pattern consists of a single controller class that receives all requests and dispatches them to the appropriate handler.<\/p>\n

The Front Controller acts as a central point of control for handling requests in a web application. It can handle different types of requests and route them to the appropriate handler. The Front Controller encapsulates the logic for handling requests, allowing you to modify the behavior of the application without changing the request handling code.<\/p>\n

In C#, these are the steps to implement the Front Controller pattern:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Create a Front Controller class:<\/strong> This class will be responsible for receiving all requests and dispatching them to the appropriate handler. It should contain a method to handle each type of request, and a method to dispatch the request to the appropriate handler.
    \npublic class FrontController
    \n{
    \nprivate Dictionary<string, IController> _controllers = new Dictionary<string, IController>();
    \npublic FrontController()
    \n{
    \n_controllers.Add(\"home\", new HomeController());
    \n_controllers.Add(\"about\", new AboutController());
    \n}
    \npublic void DispatchRequest(string request)
    \n{
    \n\/\/ Get the appropriate controller based on the request
    \nIController controller = GetController(request);
    \n\/\/ Call the appropriate method on the controller
    \ncontroller.HandleRequest(request);
    \n}
    \nprivate IController GetController(string request)
    \n{
    \nif (!_controllers.ContainsKey(request))
    \n{
    \nthrow new Exception(\"Controller not found.\");
    \n}
    \nreturn _controllers[request];
    \n}
    \n}<\/code><\/li>\n
  2. Create handler interface:<\/strong> This interface defines the method that the Front Controller will call to handle the request.
    \npublic interface IHandler
    \n{
    \nvoid HandleRequest();
    \n}<\/code><\/li>\n
  3. Create concrete handlers:<\/strong> Implement the IHandler interface for each type of request you want to handle.
    \npublic class HomeHandler : IHandler
    \n{
    \npublic void HandleRequest()
    \n{
    \nConsole.WriteLine(\"Displaying home page.\");
    \n}
    \n}
    \npublic class AboutHandler : IHandler
    \n{
    \npublic void HandleRequest()
    \n{
    \nConsole.WriteLine(\"Displaying about page.\");
    \n}
    \n}<\/code><\/li>\n
  4. Register handlers with the Front Controller:<\/strong> In the main program start-up, create instances of the concrete handlers and register them with the Front Controller.
    \nFrontController controller = new FrontController();
    \ncontroller.RegisterHandler(\"home\", new HomeHandler());
    \ncontroller.RegisterHandler(\"about\", new AboutHandler());<\/code><\/li>\n
  5. Call the Front Controller:<\/strong> In the program, call the Front Controller’s DispatchRequest method with the appropriate request type.
    \ncontroller.DispatchRequest(\"home\");
    \ncontroller.DispatchRequest(\"about\");<\/code>Output will be:<\/strong>
    \nDisplaying home page.
    \nDisplaying about page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
