It is not possible to extend Drupal\Core\Extension\ExtensionDiscovery's scan directories in case you need to put yours extension to non-default location.
Example use case
When you may need to have a lot of groups of modules&themes (100+), in a specific folders, with a single profile, and in single repository (without submodules): it helps to restrict access to specific categories of extensions to different groups of developers. Default extension directories are in read-only mode.
Example directory structure:
root/some_folder
├──group1
├──modules
├──themes
├──group2
├──modules
├──themes
Allow to extend scan directories via adding $settings['extension_discovery_include_directory'] = 'some/folder'; in settings.php
We can extend Drupal\Core\Extension\ExtensionDiscovery, scan method:
// Allow to extend search directories via settings.php.
if ($include_directory = Settings::get('extension_discovery_include_directory')) {
$searchdirs[static::ORIGIN_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY] = $include_directory;
}
