Optionally takes the name of an item, returning only data for that item (getting all data is not recommended).

exports.ox_inventory:Items(itemName)

• itemName?: string

The following snippet can be used in crafting resources such as okokCrafting or core_crafting, rather than retrieving information from the server.

local itemNames = {}
 
for item, data in pairs(exports.ox_inventory:Items()) do
    itemNames[item] = data.label
end

useItem

exports('bandage', function(data, slot)
    local playerPed = PlayerPedId()
    local maxHealth = GetEntityMaxHealth(playerPed)
    local health = GetEntityHealth(playerPed)
 
    -- Does the ped need to heal?
    if health < maxHealth then
        -- Use the bandage
        exports.ox_inventory:useItem(data, function(data)
            -- The item has been used, so trigger the effects
            if data then
                SetEntityHealth(playerPed, math.min(maxHealth, math.floor(health + maxHealth / 16)))
                lib.notify({description = 'You feel better already'})
            end
        end)
    else

        lib.notify({type = 'error', description = 'You don\'t need a bandage right now'})
    end
end)

  • Can be a table of key-value pairs, key being the metadata property and value being the label for that property.
  • Can be an array of string arrays, i.e. { {'key', 'label' }, {'key2', 'label2' } to set the display order.
• value?: string
  • Label for the string metadata property to be displayed.
