How to properly organize routing in Yii?

Question

Yii

There is a task to arrange routing like:
http : //domain.com/{username}
http : //domain.com/{username}/profile
http : //domain.com/{username}/collection
and so on.
Accordingly, {username} is a variable that contains a valid username. All usernames are stored in the database in the users table.
what is the best way to organize such routing, while maintaining the existing functionality?

Answer 1

'<username:\w+>' => 'profile/view',
'<username:\w+>/profile' => 'profile/profile',
'<username:\w+>/collection' => 'profile/collection',

If you need to check whether there is such a user in the database at the stage of parsing the rules, you can implement your own rule .

Answer 2

depending on what existing functionality you have,
for example, you have a UserController with methods
- actionDetails($username)
- actionProfile($username)
- actionCollection($username)
then in routes something like this:

'<username:\w+>' => 'user/details',
'<username:\w+>/profile' => 'user/profile',
'<username:\w+>/collection' => 'user/collection',

I'm not really sure if this will work, but I think it should)
