Json handler for FiveM

Json handler is a resource which is capable of writing and getting data from json files.

Usage

There are 2 methods for calling the functions in this resource from anywhere.

  1. Using events. There are 3 server events declared in the resourece which are:

    • json:getFile Expects 1 variable. The filename (without extension) and it returns a cb value.

      Examples:

      
    TriggerEvent("json:getFile", "users", function(cb)

        print(cb[steamid].name)

    end)

      This example returns the name according to the steamid from the users table. steamid is a variable.

    • json:getItem Expects 2 variables. The filename (without extension), the name of the item you want and it returns a cb value.

      Examples:

      
    TriggerEvent("json:getItem", "users", steamid, function(cb)

        print(cb.name)

    end)

      This example print out the same as the last one, but it only returns the item that is called steamid. steamid is a variable

    • json:addItem Expects 3 variables. The filename (without extension), the name of the item you want to create and a lua table with the data of your item, and their value.

      Examples:

      
    TriggerEvent("json:addItem", "users", steamid, { name = "example", example = 5 })

      This example creates an item in users.json called steamid with the givem parameters. steamid is a variable

    • json:deleteItem Expects 2 variables. The filename (without extension) and the name of the item you want to delete.

      Examples:

      
    TriggerEvent("json:deleteItem", "users", steamid)

      This example deletes the steamid item from users.json.

    • json:replaceItem Expects 3 variables. The filename (without extension), the name of the item you want to replace and a lua table with the data of your item, and their value.

      Examples:

      
    TriggerEvent("json:replaceItem", "users", steamid, { name = "example", example = 6 })

      This example replaces an item in users.json called steamid with the givem parameters. steamid is a variable

    • json:replaceData Expects 3 variables. The filename (without extension), the name of the item you want to replace in and a lua table with another lua table inside it. The second table has 2 variables. name and content. You will understand it form the example.

      Examples:

      
    TriggerEvent("json:replaceData", "users", steamid, { { name = "name", content = "bence" }, { name = "money", content= 10 } })

      This example replaces the name and the money in users.json

    steamid is a variable

    • json:deleteData Expects 3 variables. The filename (without extension), the name of the item you want to do the delete in and the name of the data you want to delete.

      Examples:

      
    TriggerEvent("json:deleteData", "users", steamid, "money")

      This example deletes the data named money from the steamid item in users.json

      in the steamid item with the corresponding content.

  2. Using exports. There is an option to import a class using exports.

    The class work like this:

    
    local file =  exports.json_handler:InitiateFile(filename)

    Then if you copied in this line, you can access 7 functions. These are:

    • file.GetFile()

    • file.GetItem(itemname)

    • file.AddItem(itemname, content)

    • file.DeleteItem(itemname)

    • file.ReplaceItem(itemname, itemcontent)

    • file.ReplaceData(itemname, table)

    • file.DeleteData(itemname, dataname)

    Note that you can use whatever variable name you want

    Note that these functions do the same, as the events mentioned above. If you do not understand what they do, have a look at the corresponding event.

    I suggest using exports if you executing the request on the server side, becouse they are more resource friendly.

Note that files need to be created by the developer, who plans to use this, and it can contain anything that json can. I used users in the examples, but you might not have that file.
