How to use the Yii2 GroupUrlRule() class

Question

I want to group paths under one common path. I found in the Yii2 documentation that this can be achieved with the GroupUrlRule() class. I can not understand where to set it. I tried to sat it as a rule to the urlManager in confing/web.php but nothing happened.

Imagine that you have some module. Your confing/web.php file might look like this:

'components' => [
    'urlManager' => [
        'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
        'showScriptName' => false,
        'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
        'rules' => [
            [
                'class' => 'yii\web\GroupUrlRule',
                'prefix' => 'module',
                'rules' => [
                    '/' => 'controller/index',
                    'create' => 'controller/create',
                    'edit' => 'controller/edit',
                    'delete' => 'controller/delete',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
]

Now, by URL hostname.com/module will be called 'module/controller/index'.
