Examples

Below are practical examples of how to use Glitch Abstraction's most common functions. These examples demonstrate framework-agnostic code that works across ESX, QBCore, and QBox, as well as with suppo

Getting the Abstraction Library

local GlitchLib = exports['glitch-abstraction']:getAbstraction()

---

Wait for Library to be Ready

CreateThread(function()
    while not GlitchLib.IsReady do Wait(100) end
    -- Now safe to use GlitchLib functions
end)

---

Sending a Notification (Client)

GlitchLib.Notifications.Success("Hello!", "This is a cross-framework notification.")

---

Showing an Input Dialog (Requires ox_lib)

local result = GlitchLib.UI.Input("Enter Info", {
    GlitchLib.UI.Inputs.Text("Name", {required = true}),
    GlitchLib.UI.Inputs.Number("Age", {min = 18, max = 100})
})
if result then
    print("Name:", result[1], "Age:", result[2])
end

---

Using a Context Menu (Requires ox_lib)

GlitchLib.UI.RegisterContext({
    id = 'example_menu',
    title = 'Example Menu',
    options = {
        { title = 'Option 1', icon = 'star' },
        { title = 'Option 2', icon = 'user' }
    }
})
GlitchLib.UI.ShowContext('example_menu')

---

Adding/Removing Items (Server)

-- Add an item to a player
GlitchLib.Inventory.AddItem(source, 'bread', 2)

-- Remove an item from a player
GlitchLib.Inventory.RemoveItem(source, 'water', 1)

---

Checking Player Inventory (Client)

if GlitchLib.Inventory.HasItem('phone') then
    GlitchLib.Notifications.Info('Inventory', 'You have a phone!')
end

---

Registering a Usable Item (Server)

GlitchLib.Inventory.UseItem('lockpick', function(source)
    -- Custom logic when player uses a lockpick
    TriggerClientEvent('myresource:lockpickUsed', source)
end)

---

Target System Example (Client)

GlitchLib.Target.AddTargetEntity(PlayerPedId(), {
    {
        label = 'Greet',
        icon = 'handshake',
        action = function(entity)
            GlitchLib.Notifications.Success('Hello!', 'You greeted the player!')
        end
    }
})

---

Progress Bar (Client, Requires ox_lib)

GlitchLib.UI.ProgressBar({
    label = 'Processing...',
    duration = 3000
})

---

Door Lock State (Server)

local isLocked = GlitchLib.DoorLock.GetDoorState(doorId)
if not isLocked then
    GlitchLib.DoorLock.SetDoorState(doorId, true)
end

---

Awarding XP (Server, Requires pickle_xp)

GlitchLib.Progression.AddXP(source, 100, 'Completed Task')

---

Playing a Cutscene (Client)

GlitchLib.Cutscene.Play('michael_intro', { skip = false })

---

Using Scaleform UI (Client)

GlitchLib.Scaleform.ShowMessageBox('Title', 'Subtitle', 'Footer')

---

Framework-Agnostic Callback (Client)

GlitchLib.Framework.TriggerCallback('myresource:getData', function(data)
    print('Received from server:', data)
end)

---

Registering a Server Callback (Server)

GlitchLib.Framework.RegisterCallback('myresource:getData', function(source, cb)
    cb({ foo = 'bar' })
end)
