Await: A function that allows you to call and await a functions return values, using promises.
Bench: Benches the performance of a function, and returns the time taken to execute the function.
Bridge: Provides common functions between different frameworks and libraries for use in creating cross-framework scripts.
Interval: A class for creating and managing intervals, allowing you to start, pause, stop and resume timers on threads.
Locale: A localisation and translation module, based on the i18n.lua library by kikito.
Math: An addition to the lua math library, expanding of some of the functions and adding some new ones. Most notably, an improved math.random function.
Vector: A vector class for the creation and manipulation of vectors, as well as exposing functions to the server environment not normally available.
Blips: A blip helper class for managing blips, aiding in the retrieval and removal of blips.

CLocale

CLocale is an object containing functions for localisation and translation. It's based on the i18n.lua library by kikito ref, and provides a simple way to manage translations in your FiveM scripts.

The module automatically uses the servers' convars to determine locale , both dialect and region. If the convars (sets locale) are not set, it defaults to en.

Interpolation
- welcome = 'Hello, {name}!' -> locale.translate('welcome', {name = 'John'}) -> Hello, John! (where name is a key in the data table)
Fallbacks: When a value is not found, the lib has several fallback mechanisms:
- First, it will look in the current locale's parents. For example, if the locale was set to 'en-US' and the key 'msg' was not found there, it will be looked over in 'en'.
- Second, if the value is not found in the locale ancestry, a 'fallback locale' (by default: 'en') can be used. If the fallback locale has any parents, they will be looked over too.
- Third, if all the locales have failed, but there is a param called 'default' on the provided data, it will be used.
Using files
- The language files are stored in the locales folder in the resource root.
- The files are named after the locale they represent, e.g. en.lua, en-US.lua, es.lua.

This is a shared module, and can be used on both the client, server and shared enviroment.

Importing CLocale

-- Using the `require` function from `ox_lib`
---@module 'duff.shared.locale'
local locale = lib.require '@duff.shared.locale'

-- Attaching the locale to a local variable from CDuff
local locale = duff.locale

set

Sets a translation key to a value.

---@param key string
---@param value string
function locale.set(key, value)

value - The value to set the translation key to.

load

Loads a translation table from a table.

---@param context string?
---@param data {[string]: {[string]: string}|string}
function locale.load(context, data)

context - The context to load the translations into.
data - A table containing translation keys and values.

The table should contain translation keys and values.

locale.load(nil, {
  en = {
    welcome = 'Hello, {name}!',
    goodbye = 'Goodbye, {name}!',
  }
})

loadfile

Loads a translation table from a file.

---@param resource string?
---@param file string?
function locale.loadfile(resource, file)

resource - The resource name to load the translation file from, if not provided, it will use the invoking resource.
file - The file path to load the translation file from, if not provided, it will use the server's ConVar locale.

The file should return a table containing translation keys and values.

return {
  en = {
    welcome = 'Hello, {name}!',
    goodbye = 'Goodbye, {name}!',
  }
}

You can also use a context to load translations into a specific context, or even load all translations into a single context.

return {
  en = {
    AU = {
      welcome = 'G\'day, {name}!',
      goodbye = 'Later, {name}!',
    },
    US = {
      welcome = 'Howdy, {name}!',
      goodbye = 'See ya later, {name}!',
    }
  },
  es = {
    welcome = '¡Hola, {name}!',
    goodbye = '¡Adiós, {name}!',
  }
}

translate

This function has a wrapper function called t.

Translates a key to a value. This function also supports placeholders, which can be replaced by providing a table of data.

---@param key string
---@param data {[string]: string}?
---@return string? translation
function locale.translate(key, data)

key - The key to translate.
data - A table containing data to replace placeholders in the translation.
