extensions_reloaded() 🔗

Emitted after the editor has finished reloading one or more extensions.

enum LoadStatus: 🔗

LoadStatus LOAD_STATUS_OK = 0

The extension has loaded successfully.

LoadStatus LOAD_STATUS_FAILED = 1

The extension has failed to load, possibly because it does not exist or has missing dependencies.

LoadStatus LOAD_STATUS_ALREADY_LOADED = 2

The extension has already been loaded.

LoadStatus LOAD_STATUS_NOT_LOADED = 3

The extension has not been loaded.

LoadStatus LOAD_STATUS_NEEDS_RESTART = 4

The extension requires the application to restart to fully load.

GDExtension get_extension(path: String) 🔗

Returns the GDExtension at the given file path, or null if it has not been loaded or does not exist.

PackedStringArray get_loaded_extensions() const 🔗

Returns the file paths of all currently loaded extensions.

bool is_extension_loaded(path: String) const 🔗

Returns true if the extension at the given file path has already been loaded successfully. See also get_loaded_extensions.

LoadStatus load_extension(path: String) 🔗

Loads an extension by absolute file path. The path needs to point to a valid GDExtension. Returns LOAD_STATUS_OK if successful.

LoadStatus reload_extension(path: String) 🔗

Reloads the extension at the given file path. The path needs to point to a valid GDExtension, otherwise this method may return either LOAD_STATUS_NOT_LOADED or LOAD_STATUS_FAILED.

Note: You can only reload extensions in the editor. In release builds, this method always fails and returns LOAD_STATUS_FAILED.

LoadStatus unload_extension(path: String) 🔗

Unloads an extension by file path. The path needs to point to an already loaded GDExtension, otherwise this method returns LOAD_STATUS_NOT_LOADED.
