Consider this repo archived and no longer maintained.

This repo is rather deprecated than anyhting. I recommend you use https://github.com/itschip/fivem-react-webpack5 instead.

To use the boilerplate, clone or download the repo, and add it to your resource folder.

Run yarn or npm install in the web folder to install node_modules. This will make it possible to build and watch the files. So you can either develop in the browser and build a production build to use in the server.

If you have not installed yarn, or node for that sake, the links are below.

Yarn: (https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install)
Node: (https://nodejs.org/en/)

If you change resource name, change the resource to match your resource name.

<NuiProvider resource="react-fivem-lua-boilerplate">
  <App />
</NuiProvider>

To open in the browser run yarn/npm run start.

To build the NUI, after you have installed node_modules, you run yarn run build:resources, or npm run build:resources if you installed node_modules with npm

core/hooks/useVisibilty

import { useRecoilValue } from 'recoil';
import { coreState } from './state';

export const useVisibility = () => {
  const visibility = useRecoilValue(coreState.visibility);
  return { visibility }
}

This creates the custom hook and uses the state from coreState states

import { atom } from 'recoil';

export const coreState = {
  visibility: atom({
    key: 'coreStateHidden',
    default: true
  }),
}

Then if you want to write to the state from client side, you need to create, what I like to call, a service for the hooks. Here is how it's done.

import { useSetRecoilState } from 'recoil';
import { useVisibility } from './useVisibility';
import { coreState } from './state';
import { useNuiEvent } from '../../nui-events/hooks/useNuiEvent';


export const useCoreService = () => {
  const setShowHide = useSetRecoilState(coreState.visibility);
  // You can change these strings to whatever you wish :)
  useNuiEvent("REACTNUI", "setVisibility", setShowHide);
  return useVisibility()
}

REACTNUI is the app, setVisibility is the method and setShowHide is the state you want to write to.

This is done so you can keep your SendNuiMessages more organizied.

-- Example of how it works. Look at the `useCoreService`, and the nui function in `nui-events`

RegisterCommand('show:nui', function(source, args, rawCommand)
  SendNuiMessage({
    app = "REACTNUI",
    method = "setVisibility",
    data = true
  })
end, false)

There you go, if something is wrong, leave a issue for me to look at. Have fun!
