Not planned [Developer Tool] "hasAddOn" method in \XF\Repository\AddOn

[DragonByte Tech]

At the moment, there doesn't appear to be an easy way of using templates to check the add-on cache whether a certain add-on is installed (and/or at least version X).

It would be helpful if we could have the following method added to the AddOn repository:

public function hasAddOn($addOnId, $atLeastVersion = null)
{
    $addOns = \XF::app()->container('addon.cache');
    if (!array_key_exists($addOnId, $addOns))
    {
        return false;
    }

    if ($atLeastVersion !== null && $addOns[$addOnId] < $atLeastVersion)
    {
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

This way, we wouldn't need to replicate this method in our own repositories for use in the templates. This would also streamline the PHP checking of installed add-ons, in case a third party would like to have a word with the checking process for whatever reason

Technically you can do this;

<xf:if is="{{ $xf.addOns.{{'SV/SignupAbuseBlocking'}} }} > 100000">

But the syntax is just yuck.

As mentioned in the thread that I believe prompted this, there is a templater function is_addon_active($addOnId, $versionId = null, $operator = '>=') that should suffice here.
