use() #

Available since 2.8.0

Loads an API controller class into the application.

This method can only be used before the application is started.

The controller class must:

• call the super constructor with the application instance
• extend the Controller abstract class
• define the definition property
• (optional) define the name property

The controller name will be inferred from the class name in kebab-case unless the name property is defined. (e.g. PaymentSolutionController will become payment-solution)
