Encyclopedia is meant to be required at least once on both server and client to initialize their respective global containers. Encyclopedia is designed to exist in a shared container, so recommended practice is to place Encyclopedia in ReplicatedStorage.
Server/Client:
local Encyclopedia = require(path.to.Encyclopedia)The global container can be referenced via _G.Encyclopedia.
The return value of the Encyclopedia require and global container value are identical. To avoid issues with cyclic requires, use of the global container is recommended.
Instead of using the native :GetService method, recommended Encyclopia practice is to instead use the Encyclopedia.GetService function which will return both native services and modules housed in the SharedServices and Services folder.
As for service containers:
- SharedServices: non-exclusive; server and client can access
- Services: exclusive to server
