On the Aura framework blog there's a new post with a sneak peek at Aura.Dispatcher to handle the mapping between names and objects to handle the given request. The Aura framework provides high-quality, well-tested, standards-compliant, decoupled libraries that can be used in any codebase. This means you can use as much or as little of the project as you like.

In the lessons learned post, I talked about how Aura was born of the idea that we could extract independent decoupled packages from Solar, and how in doing so, we discovered that some of those extracted packages themsleves could be further split into independent pieces. Previously, I wrote about Aura.Sql-v2, Aura.Sql_Query, and Aura.Sql_Schema as extractions from a single Aura.Sql package. Today, I’m going to talk about Aura.Dispatcher as a combined extraction from three separate packages.

He starts off with a look at dispatchers in general, noting that they're usually used with request routing but the concept isn't limited to just that. He points out that CLI dispatching, as it turns out, is a lot like web request handling. The component makes routing both sides equally simple and could also be used as something like a micro-framework router. The post finishes up with this concept, talking about the evolution from micro- to full-stack framework structures and how the component could help.
