exports['es_extended']:getSharedObject

Summary

Gets the ESX shared object. On ESX 1.9+ this export is the correct, current way — replacing the old TriggerEvent pattern.

Returns

table — the ESX object.

Example

ESX = exports['es_extended']:getSharedObject()

-- Old, deprecated (causes nil ESX on 1.9+):
-- TriggerEvent('esx:getSharedObject', function(obj) ESX = obj end)

Common pitfalls

• Using the old TriggerEvent pattern on ESX 1.9+ is the #1 cause of 'attempt to index a nil value (global ESX)'.
• Call this at the top of your client and server files before using ESX.
