Module Loaders

[void silo]

This is from a youtube video im understanding that it loads all the modules onto getservices custom module script but I don't get why this is useful even.

heres the video

also he mentioned only needing one serverside script and one client script to manage everything?

would be insane but sounds impossible

[gaunt ore]

one server script to load all the server modules and one client script to load all client modules

[distant fern]

its possible, you just do every system/service in a separate module. I always use it

[void silo]

so I use getservices custom module to load all the modules? then I put a local script inside starter player or smth? and one serverscript inside serverscriptservice?

The idea is you have a lot of module scripts that each have their own responsibility.

Server ones might be in ServerScriptService, client ones possibly in StarterPlayerScripts

You have one server script that calls require on every module script, and one client script that does the same for the client module scripts

Personally, I call server modules "Services", like "DataService", and client modules "Controllers", like "DataController", though naming is obviously up to you

[void silo]

ohhh I see

and the loader can js automatically require it everytime a new module

[void silo]

but if I created a loader wouldnt all the module have to be in one folder? in the video he puts it in replicated but isnt that like exploitable?

[queen aurora]

You can do :GetDescendants on the folder to get every single thing within regardless of how deep.

[queen aurora]

Anything in ReplicatedStorage can be seen by exploiters. You just have to be careful what you put in there.

but the client and server will have different versions of the module when they require it

[void silo]

cant I just put all the modules in server storage then?

[queen aurora]

Not if the client needs them

Server Only - ServerScriptService
Client Only - StarterPlayerScripts
Client & Server - ReplicatedStorage
