Lucee 5 extensionList() method #hacktoberfest

[michaelborn]

We're missing documentation for this little-known but extremely handy Lucee-specific method: extensionList().

• This method takes no arguments
• This method returns a query object

Here's a quick example of using this method to check the version of an installed extension:

var extension = extensionList().filter( ( extension ) => extension.name == "Hibernate ORM Engine" );
if ( !extension.recordCount ){
  throw( "Hibernate extension is not installed; please install it now" );
} else {
  var installedExtensionVersion = extension.version;
  writeOutput( "You have the Hibernate extension version #installedExtensionVersion# installed. " );
}

Nice! thanks for posting details and an example @michaelborn

For anyone looking to add this, you'll need to add a new json file to the data/en directory to document the function.

It's always fun to go to fix an issue and find out you've already fixed it. :-)

This can probably be closed.
