Record an extension and its version stamp on a mizer object

Writes an entry for name into the object's extension metadata, converting it to the versioned list form. Existing entries (and their version stamps) are preserved, keeping their position in the chain. A genuinely new entry is prepended to the front of the list.

Usage

recordExtension(params, name, version = NULL, requirement = NULL)

Arguments

params

A MizerParams object.

name

The extension identifier (package/class name).

version

Optional version string to stamp. If NULL (default) the existing stamp is preserved.

requirement

Optional requirement string (e.g. "sizespectrum/mizerMR" or "1.0.0").

Value

The params object with updated extension metadata.

Details

This is infrastructure for extension package authors. An extension constructor normally calls recordExtension() and then coerceToExtensionClass(). Ordinary model users do not need either call.
