drupal_add_library($module, $name)

Adds multiple JavaScript or CSS files at the same time.

A library defines a set of JavaScript and/or CSS files, optionally using settings, and optionally requiring another library. For example, a library can be a jQuery plugin, a JavaScript framework, or a CSS framework. This function allows modules to load a library defined/shipped by itself or a depending module; without having to add all files of the library separately. Each library is only loaded once.

Parameters

$name The name of the library to add.

Return value

TRUE when the library was successfully added or FALSE if the library or one of its dependencies could not be added.
