Extension and Dispatcher Classes

The Extension and Dispatcher classes were introduced to the area of extension developers in Joomla 4, who now need to understand what they are.

In considering Extension and Dispatcher classes we're going to focus initially on component extensions. Later we'll see how the concept is extended to modules and plugins.

You may find it useful to look at this video on the Component Extension class and part of this video on Component Dispatcher and MVC Factory classes.
