# Server Exports

Server functions of the Striga Core API.

```lua
local Core = exports['striga-core']:GetCore()
```

On the server, most functions take the player `src` as the first argument: `Core.getMoney(src, 'cash')`.

## Player

| Function                          | Returns                                                                       |

## Language

The server language is set in `config.json` (`"locale"`) and with `/strigalocale`. Core reads **your** resource's `editable/locales/<code>.json` (the calling resource). `code` is optional: without it the active language is used.

| Export                            | Returns                                                                                                                      |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `GetLocale()`                     | Active code, e.g. `'tr'`                                                                                                     |
| `LocaleText(key, params?, code?)` | `game[key]`, then English `game[key]`, then the key. `{name}` is filled from `params`; without params you get the raw string |
| `LocaleUi(path, code?)`           | Dotted lookup in `ui` (`'settings.title'`), string or table, English fallback                                                |
| `LocaleFiles(code?)`              | `localeRaw, fallbackRaw`: raw JSON of `<code>.json` and `en.json`, for your NUI                                              |
| `GetLocales()`                    | Array of codes that exist for your resource                                                                                  |
| `SetLocale(code)`                 | `true` when set. Live, not saved (same as `/strigalocale`)                                                                   |

```lua
local text = exports['striga-core']:LocaleText('welcome', { name = 'Alex' })  -- "Welcome {name}" -> "Welcome Alex"
local title = exports['striga-core']:LocaleUi('settings.title')
```

A missing `<code>.json` prints one console warning and English is used. Listen to the [locale events](/docs/striga-core/events.md) to refresh your texts when the language changes.

## Example

```lua
Core.registerCallback('my-shop:getPrice', function(src, item)
    if type(item) ~= 'string' then return nil end
    return prices[item]
end)

RegisterNetEvent('my-shop:buy', function(item)
    local src = source
    local price = prices[item]
    if not price then return end
    if not Core.canCarry(src, item, 1) then return Core.notify(src, 'Bag is full', 'error') end
    if not Core.removeMoney(src, 'cash', price, 'my-shop') then return Core.notify(src, 'Not enough money', 'error') end
    Core.addItem(src, item, 1)
end)
```

## GetSuiteVersions

```lua
local versions = exports['striga-core']:GetSuiteVersions()
-- { ['striga-chat'] = { version = '1.0.0', min = '0.1.0', latest = '1.0.0', outdated = false }, ... }
```

`latest` is `nil` until an update check worked.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://striga.gitbook.io/docs/striga-core/exports/server-exports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
