Get the requested Module (with options)
This is the same as $modules->get() except that you can specify additional options to modify default behavior.
These are the options you can specify in the $options array argument:
noPermissionCheck(bool): Specify true to disable module permission checks (and resulting exception). (default=false)noInstall(bool): Specify true to prevent a non-installed module from installing from this request. (default=false)noInit(bool): Specify true to prevent the module from being initialized or configured. (default=false). SeeconfigOnlyas alternative.noSubstitute(bool): Specify true to prevent inclusion of a substitute module. (default=false)noCache(bool): Specify true to prevent module instance from being cached for later getModule() calls. (default=false)noThrow(bool): Specify true to prevent exceptions from being thrown on permission or fatal error. (default=false)returnError(bool): Return an error message (string) on error, rather than null. (default=false)configOnly(bool): Populate module config data but do not call its init() method. (default=false) 3.0.169+. Alternative tonoInit.configData(array): Associative array of additional config data to populate to module. (default=[]) 3.0.169+
If the module is not installed, but is installable, it will be installed, instantiated, and initialized.
If you don't want that behavior, call $modules->isInstalled('ModuleName') as a condition first, OR specify true for the noInstall option in the $options argument.
