QB-Core Framework - QBCore Guide for FiveM

Introduction

This tutorial turns QB-Core Framework into a clean, developer-friendly guide for QBCore/FiveM. You will follow a step-by-step flow, copy the relevant code patterns, and learn the “why” behind the setup.

Requirements

• QBCore installed and running on a dev server
• Basic Lua knowledge and comfort reading FiveM patterns
• A test workflow for iterating safely (dev server, not production)
• Optional: a code editor with Lua/FiveM helpers (VS Code recommended)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: 📋 Overview

In this step, you will apply the 📋 overview concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Step 2: ⚙️ Installation & Setup

In this step, you will apply the ⚙️ installation & setup concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Step 3: Prerequisites

In this step, you will apply the prerequisites concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Step 4: Installation Steps

In this step, you will apply the installation steps concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Step 5: 🔧 Core Functions

In this step, you will apply the 🔧 core functions concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Step 6: Player Management

In this step, you will apply the player management concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Step 7: Money Operations

In this step, you will apply the money operations concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Step 8: Item Management

In this step, you will apply the item management concept as a practical change: define the pieces, wire them together, then verify the behavior in your dev server.

Code Example

-- shared/config.lua
QBShared = QBShared or {}
QBShared.ForceJobDefaultDutyAtLogin = true
QBShared.UpdateInterval = 5 -- minutes

Tips & Best Practices

• Keep authority on the server: validate inputs before money/database operations.
• Start with one resource/module at a time, then refactor after you verify it works.
• Use callbacks for request/response flows and events for push/UX updates.
• When you run loops, avoid freezes: always yield with Wait() (client/server) and cache hot values.
