3. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Core/Render/theme.api.php \hook_library_info_alter()

Alter libraries provided by an extension.

Allows modules and themes to change libraries' definitions; mostly used to update a library to a newer version, while ensuring backward compatibility. In general, such manipulations should only be done to extend the library's functionality in a backward-compatible way, to avoid breaking other modules and themes that may be using the library.

Parameters

array $libraries: An associative array of libraries, passed by reference. The array key for any particular library will be the name registered in *.libraries.yml. In the example below, the array key would be $libraries['foo'].

  foo:
    js:
      .......
  

string $extension: Can either be 'core' or the machine name of the extension that registered the libraries.
