Description

This PR introduces a new module loading system for the ESX framework. The require function is now available for importing resources, allowing them to load modules properly and efficiently, including those that define classes with metatables. This function includes caching to avoid redundant loads and circular dependency checks to prevent infinite loops.

Example Usage

--- resource1/modules/CStudent.lua
local Student = {}
Student.__index = Student

function Student.new(name, age)
	local self = setmetatable({}, Student)
	self.name = name
	self.age = age
	return self
end

function Student:getInfo()
	return ("Name: %s | Age: %d"):format(self.name, self.age)
end

return Student

--- resource2/server/main.lua
local CStudent = require("@resource1.modules.CStudent")

local student = CStudent.new("John Doe", 18)
print(student:getInfo()) -- Output: "Name: John Doe | Age: 18"
