How to get quarto extensions list and versions?

[royfrancis]

Description

Similar to how quarto --version or quarto::quarto_version() gives the version of quarto, is it possible to get a list of currently installed extensions and their versions?

I don't think so.
It's a simple script to make though

Edit: here one

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo -e "Title\tAuthor\tVersion\tPath"

find _extensions -type f -path '*/_extension.yml' | while read -r file; do
  title=$(grep -m 1 '^title:' "$file" | sed 's/title: //')
  author=$(grep -m 1 '^author:' "$file" | sed 's/author: //')
  version=$(grep -m 1 '^version:' "$file" | sed 's/version: //')

  echo -e "${title}\t${author}\t${version}\t${file}"
done

Use the quarto list command: https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/managing.html#updating

In a project where I installed the fontawesome extension, here is what I get

❯ quarto list extensions
Id                        Version    Contributes
quarto-ext/fontawesome    1.1.0      shortcodes

Hope it helps
