atlasBridge is not just glue for Atlas resources — it is a foundation you can build your own scripts on. Depend on it once and get a single global Bridge table with a standard library, protected networking, framework and inventory abstraction, UI, entities, Discord, and permissions, so your resource runs on ESX, QBX, QB-Core, or standalone without rewriting glue.
This section is for developers writing resources on top of the bridge. If you are a server owner installing a purchased Atlas resource, see Installation and Configuration instead.

​
Integrate the Bridge global

In your resource’s fxmanifest.lua: 
dependency 'atlasBridge'                 -- enforces load order
shared_script '@atlasBridge/init.lua'    -- gives you the global `Bridge` (client + server)
Bridge is now available on both the client and the server. Use Bridge.IsServer to branch when you need to. 
-- client
Bridge.Notify('Welcome!')
local job = Bridge.GetJob()

-- server
if Bridge.RemoveMoney(src, 'cash', 250, 'shop') then
    Bridge.Inventory.AddItem(src, 'fish_trout', 1)
    Bridge.Notify(src, { title = 'Sold', description = '+$250', type = 'success' })
end
For editor autocomplete, point your .luarc.json workspace.library at atlasBridge/types.

​
Hybrid loading

The bridge loads like ox_lib, with a deliberate split:
  • Pure utilities (Math, Table, Vector, Validate, …) load directly into your resource’s VM — fast, no boundary cost.
  • Stateful and UI services (Net, UI, Entities, Discord, …) run centrally in atlasBridge and are reached through exports.atlasBridge:* automatically.
You never call those exports yourself. Calling Bridge.Net.Emit or Bridge.Notify does the routing for you. This keeps shared state (open menus, tracked entities, the net token store) in one place while keeping hot utility paths local.
