vrp-framework

name	vrp-framework
description	Develops resources for FiveM using vRP Creative Network with Lua. Covers Proxy/Tunnel system, Passport/Source/Datatable, inventory, money, groups, identity, database (oxmysql), events, and vRPEX compatibility. Use when the user works with vRP, Creative Network, vRPEX, Proxy, Tunnel, Passport, or any vRP server-side/client-side API.

vRP Framework — Creative Network

Framework Architecture

vRP Creative Network is based on Lua 5.4 with communication via Proxy (server-to-server) and Tunnel (client-server).

Support for Creative v5 and vRPEX (older variations)

Older versions maintain the same logic and best practices but change function and file names.

• Creative v5: core in camelCase, modules/group.lua, configs in config/*.lua.
• vRPEX: classic core (getUserId, getUserSource, getUsers, etc.) and configs in cfg/*.lua.

See the full mapping in reference.md.

Key Concepts

Concept	Description
Passport	Unique character ID (equivalent to user_id in other vRPs)
Source	Player connection ID on the server (changes on every reconnection)
Datatable	In-memory table with character data (inventory, position, skin, etc.)
Characters	Global server-side table indexed by source with character data
Sources	Global table Sources[Passport] = source for reverse lookup

Identification Flow

-- Server-side: get Passport from source
local Passport = vRP.Passport(source)

-- Server-side: get source from Passport
local source = vRP.Source(Passport)

-- Server-side: get character Datatable
local Datatable = vRP.Datatable(Passport)

-- Server-side: get inventory
local Inventory = vRP.Inventory(Passport)

Proxy/Tunnel System

-- In any SERVER-SIDE resource, get access to vRP:
local Proxy = module("vrp", "lib/Proxy")
vRP = Proxy.getInterface("vRP")

-- In any CLIENT-SIDE resource:
local Tunnel = module("vrp", "lib/Tunnel")
local Proxy = module("vrp", "lib/Proxy")
vRPS = Tunnel.getInterface("vRP")  -- call server functions

-- Expose your resource functions (server):
myResource = {}
Proxy.addInterface("myResource", myResource)
Tunnel.bindInterface("myResource", myResource)

Fire-and-forget Rule

Prefix Tunnel calls with _ to not wait for a response:

-- Await response (blocking)
local result = vRP.Generateitem(Passport,"water",1)

-- Fire-and-forget (non-blocking)
vRP._Generateitem(Passport,"water",1)

vRPex Compatibility

The vRP Creative Network has compatibility aliases with classic vRP:

vRPex (old)	Creative Network (current)
getUserId	Passport
getUserSource	Source
getUserIdentity	Identity
getUserDataTable	Datatable
hasGroup	HasGroup
hasPermission	HasPermission
giveInventoryItem	GiveItem
tryGetInventoryItem	TakeItem
getInventoryItemAmount	ItemAmount
giveMoney	GiveBank
tryFullPayment	PaymentFull
getBankMoney	GetBank
query / execute	Query
prepare	Prepare

ALWAYS use the native Creative Network names (right column), not the aliases.
