readable-url | Generate readable random phrases for URLs | Build Tool library

I am trying to create user profiles based on url. I know how to get paramaters from url like www.domain.com/profile?id=username But I would like to keep it SEO friendly and instead get value from url format: www.domain.com/profile/username

I am using MVC Razor from Visual Studio 2017 and disgarded MSSQL database, instead implemented MySQL with a user table.

My thoughts how it should work. User visits web page www.domain.com/profile/user235

the server loads up the controller and gets the input "user235"

the controller sends the input to the .cshtml page and the .cshtml page performs query to the MySQL database getting the user data array and filling the page with the data.

Is my thoughts correct? Any advice or suggestions how I should handle this?

EDIT: Found the solution at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-pages/overview/routing/creating-readable-urls-in-aspnet-web-pages-sites

@UrlData[0].ToString()

This will get any value after / in razor pages example: profile.cshtml has string username = @UrlData[0].ToString()

www.domain.com/profile/John

@UrlData[0].ToString() = "John"

If you want something like www.domain.com/profile/John/blog43

string username = @UrlData[0].ToString() string blogid = @UrlData[1].ToString()

And with this information you can query the database to get information... Make sure to validate the username and blog input for any kind of sql injections.
