  1. 3.x modules/menu_example/src/Controller/MenuExampleController.php \Drupal\menu_example\Controller\MenuExampleController

Controller routines for menu example routes.

The response of Drupal's HTTP Kernel system's request is generated by a piece of code called the controller.

In Drupal 8, we use a controller class for placing those piece of codes in methods which responds to a route.

This file will be placed at {module_name}/src/Controller directory. Route entries uses a key '_controller' to define the method called from controller class.
