How to hide Controller name & action name in yii2 - url

Question

Can anyone suggest me how to hide both controller & action name from url in yii2?
I tried by writing rules but did not work.
this is my anchor tag:
<?php echo Html::a($model->title, ['category/view/', 'type' => $model->category->urlValue,'parameter' => $model->urlValue]); ?>
MY current url is like this :
http://localhost/project/category/view/news-and-events/dosarrest-strong-performer-in-2015-forrester-wave-for-ddos-service-providers-1
But I want it like this:
http://localhost/project/news-and-events/dosarrest-strong-performer-in-2015-forrester-wave-for-ddos-service-providers-1

Answer 1

It finally worked by writing a rule in main.php file as follows :
'<type:[A-Za-z0-9-]+>/<param:[A-Za-z0-9 -_.]+>' => 'category/view',

Answer 2

YOu chould create your own UrlRule. Something like:
class CustomUrlRule extends Object implements UrlRuleInterface {
public function createUrl($manager, $route, $params)
{
$parts = explode('/', $r);
if ($route === 'category/view'
&& isset($params['type'])
&& isset($params['parameter'])
) {
$url = generate some url;
unset($params['view'], $params['parameter']);
if (count($params)) {
$url .= '?' . http_build_query($params);
}
return $url;
}
return false;
}
public function parseRequest($manager, $request)
{
//parse request url and return true if it's url for category/view
}
}
and dont forget to add to config
config/web.php:
...
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
[
'class' => 'app\components\CustomUrlRule',
],
...
],
...
