UrlManager rules for varchar IDs

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hi,

primary keys in my Portfolio table are strings, so to work with prettyUrls i’ve made rules:




        'urlManager' => [

            'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',

            'showScriptName' => false,

            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,

            'rules' => array(

                '<controller:(portfolio)>/<action:(create|index)>' => '<controller>/<action>',

                '<controller:(portfolio)>/<action:(update|delete)>/<id:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',

                '<controller:(portfolio)>/<id:\w+>' => '<controller>/view',

                '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',

                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',

                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',

            ),

        ],

is there any better solution to write this rules? F.e. can I some how add only the 3rd rule with negation for create,update,index,delete?

Something like:


'<controller:(portfolio)>/<id:!(create|update|delete|index)>' => '<controller>/view',

I’ve tried ‘^’ instead of ‘!’ but without success.

Your rules are OK. Patterns used are regular expressions so you couldn’t really have a word negation but that’s fine since it’s already covered by rules order.
