Support version detection of core libraries when implemented through drupal_process_attached (drupal_add_library)

Created on 11 October 2012, over 12 years ago

Updated 21 July 2023, almost 2 years ago

The major concepts of version detection are addressed in the Libraries API contrib module and described here in detail:

The resolution bullet points from #1787222 that require this followup are:

Calls to drupal_add_library() don't specify version, just the library. If you want a specific version, register your own custom library in hook_library_info(), list the dependency that JS code has, and then call drupal_add_library() of that custom library.
When Drupal renders the scripts for the page (e.g., within drupal_get_js() or similar), it looks at the entire list of libraries added to the page, and runs some algorithm to determine which version of each library to provide: requiring compatibility, and among options that are all compatible, choosing the maximum. Details of this algorithm TBD.

This issue addresses the TBD of point #2.

Nearly two years later and there has been no response that this needs to be remain open.

If there is work to do here, then either re-open the issue and add a comment or open a new issue and reference this one.
