## 3. Configuration
The configuration files are located in the `config` folder within the resource. This folder contains two subfolders:
- **`_default.lock/`** - Contains the default configuration files. **Do not edit these files directly** as they may be overwritten during updates.
- **`custom/`** - This is where you place your custom configuration files to override the defaults.
### How to customize the configuration
1. Navigate to `jo_hairdresser_coloring/config/_default.lock/`
2. Copy the file you want to modify (e.g., `prices.lua`)
3. Paste it into `jo_hairdresser_coloring/config/custom/`
4. Edit the copied file in the `custom` folder
The script automatically loads files from `custom/` first, and only uses `_default.lock/` as a fallback. This system ensures your customizations are preserved when updating the script.
### Default configuration files
`jo_hairdresser_coloring/config/_default.lock/global.lua`
```lua
Config.keys = {
coloring = "INPUT_CREATOR_RS"
}
-- Palette options:
-- enabled (boolean): Show or hide the palette in the menu.
-- disabledTints (table): Tint indices that cannot be selected.
-- min (number): Lowest allowed tint index for the slider.
-- max (number): Highest allowed tint index for the slider.
--
-- Example with disabled tints:
-- tint_makeup = { enabled = true, disabledTints = { 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 } }
--
-- Example with slider bounds:
-- tint_generic_clean = { enabled = true, min = 0, max = 31 }
-- tint_leather = { enabled = true, min = 5, max = 31 }
--
-- Example combining all options:
-- tint_hair = { enabled = true, disabledTints = { 1, 2, 3 }, min = 0, max = 25 }

## 4. For developers
### Actions
Actions are one of the two types of Hooks. They provide a way to run a function at a specific point in the execution of scripts. Callback functions for an Action do not return anything back to the calling Action hook. They are the counterpart to Filters.
Below is the available action in the jo_hairdresser_coloring script.
#### `[Client]` Init
Triggered when the add-on links to jo_hairdresser and registers its Hairdresser menu hooks.
```lua
exports.jo_hairdresser_coloring:registerAction('init', function()
-- Your code here
end)
```
### Filters
[Filters](/DeveloperResources/filters) allow you to modify data or permissions synchronously at specific points in the script. Below is the complete list of `jo_hairdresser_coloring` filters and how to use them.
#### `[Client]` Can open color palette
Control whether the player can open the color palette.
```lua
-- @param canOpen - boolean (default true)
exports.jo_hairdresser_coloring:registerFilter('canOpenColorPalette', function(canOpen)
return canOpen
end)
```
When the palette is opened from another add-on, the external context is passed as a second argument.
```lua
-- @param canOpen - boolean (default true)
-- @param context - table: external color palette context
exports.jo_hairdresser_coloring:registerFilter('canOpenColorPalette', function(canOpen, context)
return canOpen
end)
```
