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 registered by $extension. Keyed by internal library name and passed by reference.

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