+=================================
+Access TypoScript in an extension
+=================================
+
+.. note::
+
+   This part is written for extension developers.
+
+This page explains how to access TypoScript settings in an extension.
+
+Extbase controllers
+===================
+
+In Extbase controllers, :ref:`Flexform settings <t3coreapi:read-flexforms-extbase>` and TypoScript settings will be
+merged together. If settings exists in both, the Flexform takes precedence and overrides the TypoScript setting.
+Note that both Flexform and TypoScript settings must use the convention of preceding the setting with
+`settings.` (e.g. `settings.threshold`).
+
+Extbase offers some advantages: Some things work automatically out-of-the-box. However, you must stick to the
+Extbase conventions ("conventions over configuration").
+
+In order to access TypoScript settings from an Extbase Controller.
+
+.. rst-class:: bignums-xxl
+
+#. Use the convention of defining your TypoScript settings in :ts:`settings`
+
+   .. code-block:: ts
+
+      plugin.tx_myextension {
+         view {
+            # view settings
+         }
+
+         settings {
+            key1 = value1
+            key2 = value2
+         }
+      }
+
+#. Access them via :php:`$this->settings`
+
+   For example, in your controller:
+
+   .. code-block:: php
+
+      $myvalue1 = $this->settings['key1'] ?? 'default';
+
+.. seealso::
+
+   * :ref:`settings in Extbase extensions <t3extbasebook:configuration>`
+   * :ref:`Extbase TypoScript reference <t3extbasebook:typoscript_configuration>`
+
+Fluid
+=====
+
+If Extbase controllers are used, :php:`$this->settings` is automatically passed to the Fluid template. Allowing you to
+access settings like this:
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+   {settings.key1}
