This tour aims to provide an overview of the *Rocket.Chat* codebase, its architecture, key features and how things are working. \n\n### 2. The code tour is designed for the Everyone, whether you're a developer looking to contribute, a student learning web development, or simply curious about Rocket.Chat's inner workings.\n\n### 3. We'll explore specific modules, functionalities, or important sections of the codebase in a structured manner, allowing you to understand how Rocket.Chat works.",

It houses reusable modules, libraries, or components that follow a modular approach to code organization. The shared code is managed as a package with its own versioning system, allowing projects to depend on specific versions. The folder may include documentation, examples, tests, and quality assurance processes to ensure reliability and ease of use. By organizing sharable code in this folder, Rocket Chat promotes code reuse, modularity, and collaboration across projects.\n\nYou can also Visit [Here](https://developer.rocket.chat/open-source-projects/server/repository-structure#directory-structure) for structure"

For example:\n    - **Client**: This subfolder may contain code specific to the client-side implementation, such as UI components, templates, stylesheets, and client-side libraries.\n    - **Server**: This subfolder may contain code that runs on the server-side, handling server operations like database interactions, API endpoints, and server-side functions.\n    - **Lib**: This subfolder may contain reusable code and utilities that can be shared between the client and server.\n    - **Methods**: This subfolder may contain code for server-side methods, which provide an interface for client-side code to interact with the server and perform operations securely.\n    - **Public**: This subfolder may contain publicly accessible files, such as static assets (images, fonts, etc.) that can be served directly to clients.\n    - **Private**: This subfolder may contain private files and assets that are only accessible to the server-side code.",

These components are modular and can be used in different parts of the application to provide consistent and reusable user interface elements.\n\n### Components makes lifes easier as we don't have to create component again and again and it maintains consistency across different pages.\n\n- **Reusable UI components**: The folder houses code files that define reusable UI components, such as buttons, input fields, modals, cards, avatars, tooltips, or any other user interface element that can be utilized in multiple parts of the Rocket Chat application.\n\n\n- **Component structure**: Each component typically consists of a JavaScript or TypeScript file that contains the component's logic and functionality. It may also include associated stylesheets, templates, or configuration files specific to that component.\n\n\n- **Composition and customization**: Components can often be composed together to build more complex UI elements. Developers can leverage the components in the folder to assemble larger, composite components that cater to specific features or requirements of the Rocket Chat application. Components may also provide options for customization through props or configuration parameters.\n\n- **Consistency and UI guidelines**: The components in the \"client/components\" folder adhere to established UI guidelines and design patterns within the Rocket Chat project. They help maintain consistency in the user interface across different parts of the application and ensure a cohesive and intuitive user experience.",
