Welcome to the Rocket.Chat wiki! :)

This is my personal space for documenting my journey through the Rocket.Chat codebase. Not an official guide, just honest notes from someone actually digging through the code. I am mainly focusing on two areas right now how message parsing works and how background jobs are scheduled.

Official docs are always the best starting point, but sometimes reading the actual code tells a different story. That is what this wiki is about.

Some things I found useful along the way:

• I wrote a beginner friendly breakdown of the Rocket.Chat monorepo structure - Understanding Rocket.Chat Monorepo for Beginners
• This gist answers almost every common question you'll have when starting out - Common Questions Gist

Notes here will evolve as my understanding grows - if something is wrong, that is probably just me not having dug deep enough yet :)
