Once the extension is installed, add new template to your config file : `php if (YII_ENV_DEV) {

$config['modules']['gii'] = [
    'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',      
    'allowedIPs' => ['127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.0.*', '192.168.178.20'],  
    'generators' => [ //here
        'widgetCrud' => [
            'class' => '\ianikanov\wce\templates\crud\Generator',
            'templates' => [
                'WCE' => '@vendor/ianikanov/yii2-wce/templates/crud/default', // template name
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

} And register embedded controller:php $config = [

...
'controllerMap' => [
    'wce-embed' => '\ianikanov\wce\Controller',
],
...

]; ` Then run gii, select "CRUD Controller Widget" fill the form and generate the code.

To use widget in any other form follow examples below.

To show list of items, for example, the list of Posts related to the current model: `php <?= app\widgets\PostControllerWidget::widget([

'action' => 'index',
'params' => [
    'query' => $model->getPosts(),
],

]) ?> `

To show a single item details, for example the post `php <?= app\widgets\PostControllerWidget::widget([

'action' => 'view',
'params' => [
    'id' => $post_id,
],

]) ?> `

To show create button with modal window: `php <?= app\widgets\PostControllerWidget::widget(['action' => 'create']) ?> `

To show update button with modal window: `php <?= app\widgets\PostControllerWidget::widget(['action' => 'update', 'params'=>['id' => $model->id]]) ?> `

To show delete button: `php <?= app\widgets\PostControllerWidget::widget(['action' => 'delete', 'params'=>['id' => $model->id]]) ?> `
