matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled is not recommended. (since R2026b) For information, see Version History.

Syntax

isenabled = matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled(name)

isenabled = matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled(identifier)

isenabled = matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled(___,version)

Description

isenabled = matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled(name) returns true if the add-on with the specified name is enabled. Otherwise, it returns false. If matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled is unable to find the specified add-on, it displays an error.

If multiple versions of an add-on are installed, you must specify a version.

isenabled = matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled(identifier) returns true if the add-on with the specified identifier is enabled. Otherwise, it returns false. If matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled is unable to find the specified add-on, it displays an error.

isenabled = matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled(___,version) also specifies the version of the add-on. Use this syntax with any of the arguments in previous syntaxes.

Examples

Determine If Add-On Is Enabled

Suppose that you have an add-on called Random File Name Creator installed on your system. Get the list of installed add-ons and determine if Random File Name Creator is enabled.

Get the list of installed add-ons.

addons = matlab.addons.installedAddons

 addons =

  1×4 table

             Name                   Version     Enabled                  Identifier              
    ___________________________    _________    _______    ______________________________________

    "Random File Name Creator"     "1.0"         true      "75442144-f751-4011-bf0e-32b6fb2f1433"

Determine if Random File Name Creator is enabled. MATLAB^® confirms that the add-on is enabled.

There are no plans to remove matlab.addons.isAddonEnabled. However, a more effective way to manage add-ons is to uninstall and reinstall them using mpminstall and mpmuninstall, or to use MATLAB projects to manage add-on dependencies. For more information, see Create Projects.
