Obtain a collection of routes that use a certain controller

Hello there!

I'm currently trying to achieve the following: somewhere in my code, I want to dynamically resolve all of the currently registered routes that are tied to a given controller, so I can list them on a page. In order to do this, I made the following function:

use App\Http\Controllers\MyController;
use Illuminate\Routing\Route;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route as RouteFacade;

protected function getRoutes()
{
    return collect(RouteFacade::getRoutes())
        ->filter(fn(Route $route) => $route->getControllerClass() === MyController::class);
}

The issue with this approach is that $route->getControllerClass() throws an exception on all routes that do not have a controller (i.e. are callbacks). I could of course catch all those, but that feels kind of messy. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to work around this, or if I should try one of the following things to make this work:

• create a PR to make Route::isControllerAction a public method, then add this check in the code above
• create a PR to make Route::getControllerClass run isControllerAction first, and return a fallback value (e.g. null) in these cases instead of throwing an exception

Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Thanks in advance!
