Migrating from community_bridge

Replace community_bridge with Newb_Bridge in a resource you control. This is a rewrite of the call surface, not a drop-in rename.

Newb_Bridge covers the modules MrNewb scripts use. community_bridge modules that have no counterpart stay on community_bridge, or you call the underlying resource yourself.

Swap the import

Stop starting community_bridge for that resource. Start Newb_Bridge after ox_lib, the framework, and the inventory/target you already run. Details: Installation.

-- fxmanifest.lua
shared_scripts {
    '@ox_lib/init.lua',
    '@Newb_Bridge/import.lua',
}
 
dependencies {
    'ox_lib',
    'Newb_Bridge',
}

-- Old
local Bridge = exports.community_bridge:Bridge()
Bridge.Framework.GetPlayerIdentifier(src)
 
-- New — `bridge` is global after import.lua
bridge.framework.getIdentifier(src)

Do not keep both bridges in the same consumer. bridge and Bridge are different objects.

No Newb_Bridge equivalent

These community_bridge modules are out of scope. Leave them on community_bridge, or talk to the resource they wrap.

Module	What it did
`Bridge.Banking`	Society / management accounts (`GetAccountMoney`, `AddAccountMoney`). Player wallets are `bridge.framework.getMoney` / `addMoney` / `removeMoney`.
`Bridge.Clothing`	Appearance get/set/restore and clothing menus
`Bridge.Doorlock`	`ToggleDoorLock`, `GetClosestDoor`
`Bridge.Housing`	Property enter/leave
`Bridge.Phone`	Phone number and emails
`Bridge.Shops`	Built-in shop UI (`OpenShop`, `CreateShop`, checkout). Inventory-backed shops are `bridge.inventory.registerShop` / `openShop`.
`Bridge.Skills`	XP / skill levels
`Bridge.Weather`	Weather sync toggle
`Bridge.SQL` / `Logs` / `Scaleform` / `Particle` / `Cutscene` / `Marker` / `Anim` / `Shell` / `Raycast` / `Math` / `Tables`	cLib helpers. Use ox_lib, oxmysql, or natives.

⚠️

bridge.framework.getPlayer is a cached snapshot (charId, name, groups, hasGroup). It is not the QB/ESX player object community_bridge returned from GetPlayer. Do not call .Functions or .PlayerData on it.
