Command Dispatcher

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A component that routes incoming commands to the correct handler based on type, name, or metadata. Command dispatchers are common in CQRS systems, CLIs, event-driven architectures, and command-pattern implementations where execution logic is separated from request representation.

    In plain English: A component that sends commands to the right handler.

    Example: "The framework's command dispatcher made it easy to add new admin actions without hardcoding a giant switch statement in the entrypoint."
