Choosing a Framework
FiveM resources can be standalone or built for a framework. Do not choose a framework because one random script requires it.
Standalone
A standalone resource does not require a large roleplay framework. This is ideal for utilities that do one job.
Framework-based
Framework resources can depend on framework player data, jobs, inventory, money, callbacks, database schemas, or shared objects.
Before installing a resource
Check its README/product documentation for:
- Supported framework and version.
- Required libraries.
- Database requirements.
- Required inventory/target/menu system.
- Start order.
- Conflicts with resources already installed.
Success check
You should be able to explain every dependency in your startup chain. If you cannot, document it before adding more resources.
