Declaration 

IdeExtensionAdapter*
ide_extension_adapter_new (
  IdeObject* parent,
  PeasEngine* engine,
  GType interface_type,
  const gchar* key,
  const gchar* value
)

Description

Creates a new IdeExtensionAdapter.

The IdeExtensionAdapter object can be used to wrap an extension that might need to change at runtime based on various changing parameters. For example, it can watch the loading and unloading of plugins and reload the IdeExtensionAdapter:extension property.

Additionally, it can match a specific plugin based on the value provided.

This uses IdeExtensionPoint to create the extension implementation, which means that extension points that are disabled (such as from the plugins GSettings) will be ignored. As such, if one plugin that is higher priority than another, but is disabled, will be ignored and the secondary plugin will be used.
