Server

The ak47_lib automatically detects the running framework. You can access these functions by importing the lib export in your script.

local Lib47 = exports['ak47_lib']:GetLibObject()

Lib47.Framework

A built-in variable that stores the active framework detected by the library. This is highly useful for writing dynamic, multi-framework scripts that need to execute different logic depending on the server's core environment.

Expected Values: 'esx', 'qb', or 'qbx'.

--- @type string The name of the currently active framework
local currentFramework = Lib47.Framework

-- Example usage for framework-specific logic
if Lib47.Framework == 'qb' then
    print("Detected Framework: QBCore")
    -- Execute QBCore specific code here
    
elseif Lib47.Framework == 'esx' then
    print("Detected Framework: ESX")
    -- Execute ESX specific code here
    
elseif Lib47.Framework == 'qbx' then
    print("Detected Framework: Qbox")
    -- Execute Qbox specific code here
    
else
    print("No supported framework detected (Standalone)")
end

Lib47.GetCoreConfig

Retrieves the main configuration table of the active framework (e.g., QBCore.Config or ESX.GetConfig()). This is highly useful for fetching default framework settings without needing to directly reference the core objects, keeping your script standalone-friendly.

Note: When using ESX, you can optionally pass a specific string key to return a single value instead of the entire table. In QBCore/Qbox, the key parameter is ignored and the full configuration table is always returned.

--- @param key string|nil (Optional) Specific config key to fetch (Utilized by ESX)
--- @return table|any The core configuration table, or a specific value (if key is provided in ESX). Returns an empty table {} on failure.

-- Example 1: Fetching the entire config table (Works on all frameworks)
local coreConfig = Lib47.GetCoreConfig()

if coreConfig then
    print("Core configuration loaded successfully.")
    -- You can now access framework settings: e.g., coreConfig.DefaultSpawn
end

-- Example 2: Fetching a specific key (Useful for ESX servers)
if Lib47.Framework == 'esx' then
    local startingAccountMoney = Lib47.GetCoreConfig('StartingAccountMoney')
    print("Default starting money configured in ESX: " .. json.encode(startingAccountMoney))
end

Core Player & Identity
