# Feature: #69918 - Add PSR-7-based dispatching for Backend Modules

See [forge#69918](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/69918)

## Description

Built on the PSR-7 principle and the routing concepts, it is now possible to
register backend modules which are dispatched to a callable string instead of
pointing to an index.php file in `EXT:myextension/Modules/MyModule/index.php`.

The method which is called, receives a PSR-compatible request and response object
and must return a response object which is outputted to the browser.

An example registration uses the option `routeTarget` to resolve the method to
be called when rendering the module:

```php
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addModule(
	'web',
	'layout',
	'top',
	'',
	array(
		'routeTarget' => \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\PageLayoutController::class . '::mainAction',
		'access' => 'user,group',
		'name' => 'web_layout',
		'labels' => array(
			'tabs_images' => array(
				'tab' => 'EXT:backend/Resources/Public/Icons/module-page.svg',
			),
			'll_ref' => 'LLL:EXT:backend/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_mod.xlf',
		),
	)
);
```
