        "locustv2/yii2-encode-url-rule": "~1.0.0"

Configuring EncodeUrlRule

To use EncodeUrlRule, add this to your config.

'UrlManager' => [
    'ruleConfig' => [
        'class' => 'weblement\components\EncodeUrlRule,
        'paramName' => 'enc',
        'autoEncodeParams' => [
            'page',
            'userId'
        ],
    ],
],

Using EncodeUrlRule

When you are creating urls in yii, you can pass an array or parameters to the key EncodeUrlRule::$paramName that you set. All parameters that are in EncodeUrlRule::$autoEncodeParams will also be encoded and assigned to the key in your url. For example:

// /site/url-test/?id=123&key1=value1&enc=a2V5Mj0lMjJ2YWx1ZTIlMjImdXNlcklkPTQ1NiZwYWdlPTI%253D
echo Url::to([
    '/site/url-test',
    'id' => 123,
    'key1' => 'value1',
    'userId' => 456,
    'page' => 2,
    'enc' => [
        'key2' => 'value2'
    ],
]);

In your controller action you can get the query parameters as follows

public function actionUrlTest($id, $userId, $key2)
{
    var_dump($id); // 123
    var_dump($userId); // 456
    var_dump($key2); // value2
    var_dump(Yii::$app->request->get('key1')); // value1
    var_dump(Yii::$app->request->get('page')); // 2
    var_dump(Yii::$app->request->get()); // contains all get query  parameters including `enc`
}

Further Examples

You are able to also pass arrays as follows:

Url::to([
    '/site/url-test',
    'enc' => [
        'user' => [
            'id' => $user->id,
            'name' => $user->name,
        ]
    ],
]);

Url::to([
    '/site/url-test',
    'enc' => [
        'user' => User::find()->asArray()->one(),
    ],
]);

However these parameters should will not work if you are trying to assign a controller action parameter.

// will not work
public function actionUrlTest($user)
{
    var_dump($user);
}

// will work
public function actionUrlTest()
{
    var_dump(Yii::$app->request->get('user'));
}
