Input Dialog (Form Fields to Lua Values)

Description

A NUI input dialog: open it with a title and a list of fields (text / number / select / checkbox), the player fills it in, and a callback returns the values coerced to the right Lua types. It is the ox_lib inputDialog pattern servers reuse everywhere, registrations, admin tools, job forms.

Prompt Template

You are writing a FiveM NUI input dialog for the <esx|qbcore|qbox framework.

Expected Output

The reference Lua lives at content/expected-outputs/ui/13-input-dialog-form.lua.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

• Client-trusted values, the server must re-check length/range/type; a tampered NUI payload is the default attack.
• No result registration, the client must RegisterNetEvent the result reply.
• Cursor stuck, the cancel path must SetNuiFocus(false, false).

Corrective re-prompt: "The server stored the form values without checking them, re-validate fullname length and age >= 18 in server.lua before acting, and reply with a reject notify on failure. Make sure the cancel NUI callback also calls SetNuiFocus(false,false)."

Framework Integration

• ESX: validate and persist with xPlayer accessors after getSharedObject(); sanitize strings before any DB write.
• QBCore: GetCoreObject() then store on Player.PlayerData.metadata or a DB table; re-validate server-side.
• QBox: exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(src); the dialog client code is framework-agnostic, only the persistence differs.

Profit Potential

$150-$2000/mo on Tebex (expected ~$600), priced in the $50-389 script band against a corpus of comparable Tebex sellers (median seller $11.85K/mo); a stable utility lands low-mid.

Trend Signal

→ stable, corpus: ox_lib inputDialog is a standard form primitive reused by countless ox-ecosystem scripts; mature, steady demand.

Sales Angle

Position as the dependable typed-form primitive every job and admin script reuses, a utility buy, not a flashy feature. Recommended Tebex price $99.
