React FiveM Hooks

Essential React hooks for FiveM NUI development written in Typescript

Install the package

yarn add react-fivem-hooks

Wrap the component in the provider

import { NuiProvider } from 'react-fivem-hooks';

ReactDOM.render(
  <NuiProvider>
    <App />
  </NuiProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

useNuiEvent

import { useNuiEvent } from 'react-fivem-hooks';

export const Component = () => {
  const { data: isOpen } = useNuiEvent<boolean>({ event: 'SET_NUI_OPEN' });

  return (
    <div>
      <span>{isOpen ? 'Profit.' : 'Closed.'}</span>
    </div>
  );
}

Send the event (Browser console)

// Should display "Profit."
window.postMessage({ type: 'SET_NUI_OPEN', payload: true });
  
  
// Should display "Closed."
window.postMessage({ type: 'SET_NUI_OPEN', payload: false });

useDisableControls (Disable input movement)

Generic hook to disable movement in FiveM when typing inside a input field.

Note: This feature requires the nui-controls library to be used on the client.

import { useDisableControls } from 'react-fivem-hooks';

export const Component = () => {
  const { controls } = useDisableControls();

  return (
    <div>
      <input placeholder="Yay, I don't move" {controls} />
    </div>
  );
}

nui-controls (lua client library)

This is a resource included in this repository which you can utilise to easily disable controls when using input fields in your NUI.

1. Download nui-controls from this repository.
2. Put it in your server folder.
3. Add it to the resource you want to use the useDisableControls-hook like this:

client_scripts {
  '@nui-controls/client.lua',
  '...',
}

4. Now you can utilise useDisableControls in your NUI.
