Behavior for set custom view extension on all module, or some actions Main purpose - quick way for theming external modules with favorite template engine

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist insolita/yii2-extview "~1.0"

or add

"insolita/yii2-extview": "~1.0"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

Once the extension is installed, simply use it in your code by :

 'modules'=>[
 'someModule'=>[
 'class'=>'\some\Module',
 'prop'=>'foo',
 'as extview'=>[
 'class'=>'insolita\extview\ExtviewBehavior',
 'viewExtension'=>'twig' //it set twig extension for all module controllers

 //Or with anonymous function with argument $route (equals \yii\base\Action $uniqueId property )
 'viewExtension'=>function($route){
 return($route=='some-module/default/index')?'php':'twig';
 }
 ]
 ]
 ]

And as usual - add module to pathmap in theme config

'components' => [
 'view' => [
 'theme' => [
 'basePath' => '@app/themes/mytheme',
 'baseUrl' => '@web/themes/mytheme',
 'pathMap' => [
 '@app/views' => '@app/themes/mytheme',
 '@vendor/someModule/views'=>'@app/themes/mytheme/modules/someModule'
 ],
 ],
 ],
 ],
