Metabridge ​

Framework, inventory, callback, target/UI, and dispatch bridge for FiveM resources.

metabridge gives you one stable API (MetaBridge server, MetaBridgeClient client) and routes calls to the active framework/inventory/dispatch adapters.

Architecture ​

  • Core server runtime: resource/bridge.lua
  • Core client runtime: resource/client.lua
  • Dispatch client extension: links/dispatch/client.lua
  • Export surfaces: exports/server.lua, exports/client.lua
  • Global loader: init.lua

Requirements ​

  • ox_lib (dependency in fxmanifest.lua)
  • One supported framework adapter (auto-detected or configured via BridgeConfig.framework)
  • Optional inventory/dispatch systems (auto-detected or configured)

Setup ​

Add dependency order in your resource manifest, then call bridge exports directly.

lua
dependency 'metabridge'

Server example:

lua
local Bridge = exports['metabridge']
local framework = Bridge:getFramework()

Client example:

lua
local Bridge = exports['metabridge']
Bridge:notify({ type = 'success', description = 'Bridge ready' })

Style 2: Import globals with @metabridge/init.lua ​

In your manifest:

lua
shared_scripts {
  '@metabridge/init.lua'
}

This exposes globals:

  • Server: MetaBridge
  • Client: MetaBridgeClient

Important: init.lua force-sets BridgeConfig.debug = true.

Typing Notes ​

  • Signatures use lightweight Lua-friendly hints: name:type and -> returnType.
  • Common scalar aliases used in this README: source:number, itemName:string, plate:string.
  • Adapter-specific payloads/results are intentionally typed as table, table|nil, or any.
  • nil in a return type indicates the method can fail or the adapter may not provide data.
