Rocket.Chat Apps Engine

The engine which manages and controls everything....more details coming soon.

Thoughts While Working (for docs)

• Apps which don't provide a valid uuid4 id will be assigned one, but this is not recommended and your App should provide an id
• The language strings are only done on the clients (TAPi18next.addResourceBundle(lang, projectName, translations);)
• The implementer of this should restrict the server setting access and environmental variables. Idea is to allow the implementer to have a default set of restricted ones while letting the admin/owner of the server to restrict it even further or lift the restriction on some more. Simple interface with settings and checkbox to allow/disallow them. :thinking:

To Think About?

• Will we support es6? Since we currently check extends keyword and can check implements via determing what methods exist
• Using https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonc-parser for the json parsing?

Implementer Needs to Implement:

• src/server/storage/AppStorage
• src/server/storage/AppLogStorage
• src/server/bridges/*

Testing Framework:

Makes great usage of TypeScript and decorators: https://github.com/alsatian-test/alsatian/wiki

• To run the tests do: npm run unit-tests
• To generate the coverage information: npm run check-coverage
• To view the coverage: npm run view-coverage
