  }

By default, CreatorBehavior will fill the created_by and updated_by attributes with the current user id when the associated AR object is being inserted; it will fill the updated_by attribute with the current user id when the AR object is being updated. The user id value is obtained by Yii::$app->user->id., _(*8)

If your attribute names are different or you want to use a different way of retrieving user id, you may configure the [[createdByAttribute]], [[updatedByAttribute]] and [[value]] properties like the following:, _(*10)

  public function behaviors()
  {
      return [
          [
              'class' => CreatorBehavior::className(),
              'createdByAttribute' => 'creator_id',
              'updatedByAttribute' => 'updater_id',
              'value'=>function($event){
                   return \Yii::$app->user->identity->getCustomId();
               }
          ],
      ];
  }
