Frameworks & bridges

Coast scripts detect your framework automatically on start — you don’t have to set anything.

Framework	Detected by	Notes
Qbox	`qbx_core` started	Preferred when both Qbox and QBCore are present
QBCore	`qb-core` started
ESX	`es_extended` started	ESX Legacy 1.10+
Standalone	none of the above	Only for scripts marked Standalone

Bridge files

Framework calls (money, jobs, items, notifications) live in an open bridge/ folder:


bridge/
├─ qb/        client.lua  server.lua
├─ qbx/       client.lua  server.lua
├─ esx/       client.lua  server.lua
└─ custom/    client.lua  server.lua   ← start here for your own framework

Using a heavily modified framework or a custom inventory? Edit the matching bridge file — the escrowed core only talks to the bridge.

Forcing a framework

config.lua


Config.Framework = 'auto' -- 'auto' | 'qbx' | 'qb' | 'esx' | 'custom'
