# Deprecation: #94991 - Extbase AbstractView {#deprecation-94991}

See [forge#94991](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/94991)

## Description {#description}

To simplify and streamline Fluid view related class inheritance,
the Extbase class `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\View\AbstractView`
has been marked as deprecated and will be removed in TYPO3 v12.

## Impact {#impact}

Extending the class should be avoided. Consuming classes should
directly implement `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\View\ViewInterface`
instead.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Instances with own Extbase view classes that extend `AbstractView`
are affected, but this is rather uncommon. The extension scanner will
find class usages as a strong match.

## Migration {#migration}

Affected Extbase view classes should implement `ViewInterface` instead
and not extend `AbstractView` anymore. The most simple solution is to
copy the interface implementation from the deprecated `AbstractView` class.
