UrlRule represents a rule used by yii\web\UrlManager for parsing and generating URLs.

To define your own URL parsing and creation logic you can extend from this class and add it to yii\web\UrlManager::$rules like this:

'rules' => [
    ['class' => 'MyUrlRule', 'pattern' => '...', 'route' => 'site/index', ...],
    // ...
]

Property Details

Hide inherited properties

$createStatus protected property (available since version 2.0.12)

Status of the URL creation after the last createUrl() call.

protected integer|null $createStatus null
$createUrlStatus public property

Status of the URL creation after the last createUrl() call. null if rule does not provide info about create status.

$defaults public property

The default GET parameters (name => value) that this rule provides. When this rule is used to parse the incoming request, the values declared in this property will be injected into $_GET.

public array $defaults = []
$encodeParams public property

A value indicating if parameters should be url encoded.

public boolean $encodeParams true
$host public property

The pattern used to parse and create the host info part of a URL (e.g. https://example.com).

See also $pattern.

public string|null $host null
$mode public property

A value indicating if this rule should be used for both request parsing and URL creation, parsing only, or creation only. If not set or 0, it means the rule is both request parsing and URL creation. If it is PARSING_ONLY, the rule is for request parsing only. If it is CREATION_ONLY, the rule is for URL creation only.

public integer|null $mode null
$name public property

The name of this rule. If not set, it will use $pattern as the name.

public string|null $name null
$normalizer public property (available since version 2.0.10)

The configuration for yii\web\UrlNormalizer used by this rule. If null, yii\web\UrlManager::$normalizer will be used, if false, normalization will be skipped for this rule.

$pattern public property

The pattern used to parse and create the path info part of a URL.

See also:

public string $pattern null
$placeholders protected property (available since version 2.0.7)

List of placeholders for matching parameters names. Used in parseRequest(), createUrl(). On the rule initialization, the $pattern parameters names will be replaced with placeholders. This array contains relations between the original parameters names and their placeholders. The array keys are the placeholders and the values are the original names.

See also:

protected array $placeholders = []
$route public property

The route to the controller action

public string $route null
$suffix public property

The URL suffix used for this rule. For example, ".html" can be used so that the URL looks like pointing to a static HTML page. If not set, the value of yii\web\UrlManager::$suffix will be used.

public string|null $suffix null
$verb public property

The HTTP verb (e.g. GET, POST, DELETE) that this rule should match. Use array to represent multiple verbs that this rule may match. If this property is not set, the rule can match any verb. Note that this property is only used when parsing a request. It is ignored for URL creation.

public string|array|null $verb null

Method Details

    }
    $this->init();
}

            
__get() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__get()

    if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
        return $this->$getter();
    } elseif (method_exists($this, 'set' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Getting write-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);

}

            
__isset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, false will be returned.

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php.

public boolean __isset ( $name )
$name string

The property name or the event name

return boolean

Whether the named property is set (not null).

    return false;
}

            
__set() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__set()

}

            
__unset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__unset()
