Add change view folder for VIew

I would like to add a method to change the View->setViewPath($path) template catalog.
Because you can't change the folder for the shared class: Services::renderer(...)
The modified object cannot be returned in the filter. Is this function needed in the framework?

PHP Code:

// Before (default) $theme = 'standart'
// $viewPath = 'Views/'
// $file = 'Views/standart/user/dashboard.php'
return view($theme . '/user/dashboard');

// After setViewPath('Views/standart')

// $viewPath = 'Views/standart'
// $file = 'Views/standart/user/dashboard.php'
return view('/user/dashboard');

Why do you need to change the view path dynamically?

You can set the path if you call Services::renderer($viewPath).

As standard, change the theme folder. The theme is stored in the database. 
1. The change in BaseController is not global.
2. It is unwise to create each View anew.
I consider it normal to change in the process

If you don't need to change the path in a request more than once,
the following code works.

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use Config\Services;

class Home extends BaseController
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $viewPath = APPPATH . 'Views/standart';
        Services::renderer($viewPath);
    }

    public function index(): string
    {
        // 'Views/standart/foo.php'
        return view('foo');
    }
}

I haven't checked it yet, but what happens when this instance is created earlier? For example, after view(), view_cell(), ..?
 Or do you need to have a template engine in the services: User Manager, Sender, Auth...?
Initialization will be called earlier and may not be the one that is needed.

UPD: This method is not suitable for calling in filters. As well as the creation in the constructor. The folder does not change, I probably have initialization of services somewhere before

You must call Services::renderer($viewPath) before calling view() in anywhere.
The first instance created by Services is shared.

I know. It's not working right now. Somewhere initialization happens earlier. Therefore, changing the folder on the fly would be a good solution.

If you want to use it in filters, why don't you call Services::renderer($viewPath) in pre_system Event?

Do you think this is right? If you need to change it again later in the code?

I don't see why you need to change the path dynamically.
Does the theme change in one request?
Why don't you set the theme's view path at first?
