Find backoffice controller

Question

I have a javascript call to this url : https://mysite/admin/admin/export/export/key/b7c4bdb5a1b9f5147f498741adc99/entity/catalog_product/file_format/csv

From this url how can I find where is located the action ?

I already know the 3 part in url...but here seems to be different. Which module I should look into, which action I should search ?

If this can help this is the main dashboard url after login

https://sysite/admin/admin/dashboard/index/key/276e1bbcbff57306/

Answer 1

Your URLs come from Magento 2's router system, which can be configured per module. This means that not all the admin controllers are in one place, example:

• https://mysite/admin/admin/export/export/key/xxx/entity/catalog_product/file_format/csv comes from module magento/module-import-export
• https://sysite/admin/admin/dashboard/index/key/xxx/ comes from module magento/module-backend

Both of these have their frontName and area defined by their module's etc/adminhtml/routes.xml, like the one for the ImportExport being this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--

-->
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento: framework:App/etc/routes.xsd">
    <router id="admin">
        <route id="adminhtml">
            <module name="Magento_ImportExport" before="Magento_Backend" />
        </route>
    </router>
</config>

Then from there you find the Controller in the module's Controller/Adminhtml/ directory. Example, https://sysite/admin/admin/dashboard/index/key/xxx/ is at Controller/Adminhtml/Dashboard/Index.php relative to the magento/module-backend module
