Templated webids

[damooo]

Hello @sebadob

Currently webids are coupled with user-ids. Thus they are not configurable by service providers on how they look.

Is it possible to take a template string on config like https://example.org/<$user_name>#me, and take optional user_name input from user at the signup, and make resultant webid also one of independent primary keys in table?

Thank you.

I don't really get what you mean with that.
You want to get rid of the user id and replace it with a user-chosen nickname?

Yes, but the webid in token response cannot be modified?

That's correct.
But if you want to print your webid on your shirt, you could print the pretty one and everything would work with redirects.

The webid is "uri string". The string literal is significant. It is what get matched by apps.

Is there any plan to consider this @sebadob ? Thank you.

I need to think about it a bit, if its possible to get a nice solution without "destroying" anything else.
But it has a low priority. I am working on dynamic client registration currently, then I have a few small other features on the TODO and want to release v0.21.
I can think about a possible solution for the version afterwards.
