drupal_get_library

Versions

drupal_get_library($module, $name)

Retrieves information for a JavaScript/CSS library.

Library information is statically cached. Libraries are keyed by module for several reasons:

  • Libraries are not unique. Multiple modules might ship with the same library in a different version or variant. This registry cannot (and does not attempt to) prevent library conflicts.
  • Modules implementing and thereby depending on a library that is registered by another module can only rely on that module's library.
  • Two (or more) modules can still register the same library and use it without conflicts in case the libraries are loaded on certain pages only.

@todo The purpose of drupal_get_*() is completely different to other page requisite API functions; find and use a different name.

Parameters

$module The name of a module that registered a library.

$library The name of a registered library.

Return value

The definition of the requested library, if existent, or FALSE.
