## Installation

1. Download the [last release](https://github.com/Jump-On-Studios/RedM-jo_libs/releases/latest/download/jo_libs.zip) of the library
2. Add the resource `jo_libs` in your resources folder
3. Add `ensure jo_libs` in your server.cfg

## Usage

1. To use libraries, just add the initiator as a shared script inside of your `fxmanifest.lua` file.
```lua
shared_scripts {
  '@jo_libs/init.lua'
}

```
2. List modules you want use inside the `fxmanifest.lua` (in lowercase)
```lua
jo_libs {
  'print',
  'table',
}

```
You can now use the libraries inside of your resource with the `jo` global variable.

## Update

Since **jo\_libs** is file-based, keeping old or deprecated files in your folder can cause issues. To update it correctly, follow these steps:

1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/Jump-On-Studios/RedM-jo_libs/releases/latest/download/jo_libs.zip) of the library.
2. **Delete** your existing `jo_libs` folder from your `resources` directory.
3. Extract the contents of `jo_libs.zip`.
4. Place the new `jo_libs` folder into your `resources` directory.
5. Clear your server cache.
6. Restart your server.

**Don't drag and drop** the update over the old `jo_libs` folder!
