How to work with Yii2 REST API when post id is of varchar type?

Question

Yii

If the record id has a type other than integer, then the Rest API in Yii2 starts returning 404 when receiving information on a single record. Did someone come across? How is it decided?

Answer 1

Show URLManager'a config. Spherical advice - put another regular expression in 'tokens', or use 'extraPatterns'.
UPD:
Based on your comment, the config should be like this

'rules' => [
   [
      'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
      'controller' => 'products',
      'tokens' => [
         '{id}' => '<id:\w+>'
      ],
   ],
]

Answer 2

Another feature is that 404 returns only if the UrlManager is written universally:
['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => 'products'],
but if the rules are set manually, then everything is fine :
'products/' => '/product/view'
Accordingly, the problem is in UrlManager, which for REST means id is only a number. Solved by replacing $tokens regular expression in yii\rest\UrlRule

Answer 3

$html = file_get_contents('index.html');
$i = 0;
$html = preg_replace_callback(
  '/<p/i',
  function() {
    global $i;
    $i++;

    return "<p data-name=\"{$i}\"";
  },
  $html
);

file_put_contents('index-out.html', $html);
