Dispatching is the process of taking the request object, extracting the module name, controller name, action name, and optional parameters contained in it, and then instantiating a controller and calling an action of that controller.

<?php
$di = new \Phalcon\Di();
$dispatcher = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Dispatcher();
$dispatcher->setDI($di);
$dispatcher->setControllerName("posts");
$dispatcher->setActionName("index");
$dispatcher->setParams([]);
$controller = $dispatcher->dispatch();
