Routing Laravel and Cyrillic?

Question

Laravel

Good afternoon. Tell me, what needs to be done so that links with Cyrillic are processed in Laravel 4.2?
There is a rule in routes.php:

Route::pattern('userName', '[\d\w]{1,16}');
Route::get('user/{userName}', '[email protected]');

I tried different ways (/u, a-z), but links with Russian names never open.
Really Laravel is not able such elementary things?

Answer 1

And if pattern is written as .*- does it work?
In general, the Cyrillic alphabet must be encoded throughurlencode

Answer 2

Laravel knows everything. You just need to make a regexp so that Cyrillic characters are taken into account.
For example:

Route::get('test/{slug}', function($slug = null){
        return 'Hello World, '.$slug;
    })->where('slug', '[^0-9\p{Cyrillic}]+');

And so - dig in the direction of \p{...} modifiers...
