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';
                      }
                 ]

'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'
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
```
