Argument resolver

Controller methods can inject properties if it is type-hinted correctly:

• Post $post for single post page

• Term $term and PostCollection $posts for archive page

• User $author and PostCollection $posts for author archive page

• Blog $blog

The resolvers take care of validating the controller callable and its arguments. In case of a problem, it throws an exception with a nice message explaining the problem.

This is also relevant to handle 404 error : see the guide Better error pages
