I would probably accept the id into the single controller, then dispatch a class to handle the request type (strategy pattern I think)

Dynamic controller based on input param
Hello,
I have route like this $router->post('something/{id}', ['uses' => 'MyController@process']);
I want that controller name is different based on {id}param. With id I look in db and read some data and based on data type I want to run corresponding controller.
I guess I need to use Middleware where I can do this database operation and define type of controller to be executed but how to execute proper controller then ?
All I see in Middleware examples is that either you do redirect to some URL or return $next($request);

@Snapey single controller is good for me main question: in single controller, imagine I define via strategy what is the name of controller where to dispatch how to dispatch request to this controller then ?

It wouldn't be a controller, it would be just a simple class. It could extend Controller if you need access to the standard controller functions
MyController.php
public function process($id)
{
$model = Model::find($id);
abort_if(! class_exists($model->classname()),404)
return (new $model->classname)->handle($id);
}
Assumes that your model has a classname function that returns a string containing the name of the class to call and that your called class contains a handle method
but this is only an example. You can construct it multiple ways.

I see your point, make sense, but does not exactly fitswhat I need.
I found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55335307/laravel-dynamic-controller-middleware which exactly fits my needs but in my case I get an error : [Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel] is not instantiable, probably due to different application version , mine is Lumen (8.3.1) (Laravel Components ^8.0) Trying to solve it here.
Any suggesetions appreciated.
Thanks
