[ericof]

api.addon.get_addons

Return a list of addons (plone.api.addon.AddonInformation) in the installation.

Example:

from plone import api
from plone.api.addon import AddonInformation


addons = api.addon.get_addons()

# List of AddonInformation
assert isinstance(addons, list)
assert isinstance(addons[0], AddonInformation)

It is possible to filter the addons using the parameter limit:

from plone import api


# Return all valid addons
all_addons = api.addon.get_addons()

# Only installed addons
installed_addons = api.addon.get_addons(limit="installed")

# Only upgradable (already installed) addons
upgradable_addons = api.addon.get_addons(limit="upgradable")

# Available addons -- not installed
available_addons = api.addon.get_addons(limit="available")

# It is also possible to get addons not available in the UI
# Only broken addons (with installation problems)
broken_addons = api.addon.get_addons(limit="broken")

# Only non-installable addons
broken_addons = api.addon.get_addons(limit="non_installable")

api.addon.get_addons_ids

Similar to api.addon.get_addons, but return only the addon ids.

Example:

from plone import api


addons_ids = api.addon.get_addons_ids()

# List of str
assert isinstance(addons_ids, list)
assert isinstance(addons_ids[0], str)

api.addon.get

Get information about one addon.

Example:

from plone import api


# Get information about plone.restapi
addon = api.addon.get("plone.restapi")
assert addon.id, "plone.restapi"
assert addon.valid is True
assert addon.description == "RESTful hypermedia API for Plone."
assert addon.profile_type == "default"
assert addon.version == "8.21.0"

api.addon.install

Install an addon

Example:

from plone import api


status = api.addon.install("plone.restapi")
assert status is True
assert "plone.restapi" in api.addon.get_addons_ids(limit="installed")

api.addon.uninstall

Uninstall an addon

Example:

from plone import api


status = api.addon.uninstall("plone.restapi")
assert status is True
assert "plone.restapi" in api.addon.get_addons_ids(limit="available")
