To forward the request to a different action, the developer can use the following code in the controller:

return $resultForward- > forward(‘action’);

where $resultForward is an instance of \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\ForwardInterface and ‘action’ is the name of the action where the request should be forwarded.

There is no controllerjorward.xml configuration file or forwardToAction method in Adobe Commerce.

In Magento, to forward a request from one controller action to another, a developer can utilize the forward method available in the controller action class. This is achieved by returning a result from the action method that instructs Magento to forward the request to another action. The forward object is obtained by calling the $this- > resultForwardFactory- > create() method within the controller action. Then, the target action is specified by calling the forward method on this object with the action name as the argument, such as $resultForward- > forward('targetAction') . This approach is consistent with Magento's emphasis on using result objects to control the flow of request processing within its MVC architecture.

The controller responsible for handling the /checkout URL is located in Controller/Checkout/Index.php in the Magento.Checkout module 1 .  This controller extends from \Magento\Checkout\Controller\Index\Index, which implements the execute() method that renders the checkout page 1 .

In the Magento_Checkout module, the responsible controller for the /checkout URL can be found in Controller/Checkout/Index.php . This controller handles the index action for the checkout process, initiating the checkout page when a customer navigates to /checkout. The organization of controllers in Magento follows a convention where the URL path corresponds to the directory structure within the module, making it easier to locate and understand the functionality associated with specific routes​​.
