Abstract + +I am proposing a comprehensive overhaul of the **Rocket.Chat EmbeddedChat** component to ensure production-grade reliability and feature parity with the main web client. While EmbeddedChat serves as a powerful drop-in solution for integrating chat into external websites, critical user experience gaps—specifically in message composition, authentication stability, and real-time updates—hinder its adoption in enterprise environments. My project will leverage the **React SDK** internals to refactor the input handling system, optimize the authentication hooks, and implement a robust "quoting" mechanism that mirrors the core Rocket.Chat experience. + +## 2. The Problem + +### 2.1 The "Drop-in" Promise vs. Current Reality + +EmbeddedChat relies on the legacy `Rocket.Chat.js.SDK` (driver) and a React structure that has accumulated technical debt. My audit of the current `packages/react` codebase reveals critical friction points: + +1. **Input State Fragility:** The current `ChatInput.js` relies on string append operations for quotes/edits. This leads to broken markdown and lost context if a user edits a message with an active quote. +2. **Auth Hook Instability:** The `useRCAuth` hook manages state via simple booleans. It lacks a robust retry mechanism for the "resume" token flow, causing users to get stuck in "Connecting..." states after network interruptions. +3. **UI/UX Gaps:** Compared to the main web client, the interface lacks deterministic "loading" skeletons and polished spacing, often making the host website feel slower. + +### 2.2 Why This Matters + +For an "Embedded" product, trust is everything. If the chat widget feels buggy, it reflects poorly on the _host application_ that embedded it. Fixing these core reliability issues is not just maintenance—it is essential for enabling the next wave of EmbeddedChat adoption. + +--- + +## 3. Proposed Solution + +### 3.1 Core Objectives + +I will focus on three key pillars: + +1. **Robust Input Engine:** Refactoring `ChatInput.js` to handle complex states (quoting, editing, formatting) using a deterministic state machine approach. +2. **Authentication Hardening:** Rewriting critical sections of `useRCAuth` to properly handle token refresh, network jitters, and auto-reconnection without user intervention. +3. **Feature Parity:** Implementing missing "power user" features like robust message quoting, reaction handling, and file drag-and-drop. + +### 3.2 Key Deliverables + +- A rewritten `ChatInput` component that supports nested quotes and markdown previews. +- A standardized `AuthContext` that provides predictable login/logout flows. +- 90% unit test coverage for all new utility functions. +- A "Playground" demo site showcasing the new features. + +--- + +## 4. Technical Implementation + +### 4.1 Architecture Overview + +The EmbeddedChat architecture relies on a clean separation between the Host Application and the Rocket.Chat Server, mediated by the RC-React SDK. + +```mermaid +graph TD + User[User on Host Site] -->|Interacts| EC[EmbeddedChat Widget] + + subgraph "EmbeddedChat Core (React)" + EC -->|State Management| Store[Zustand Store] + EC -->|Auth| AuthHook[useRCAuth Hook] + EC -->|Input| InputEngine[ChatInput State Machine] + end + + subgraph "Rocket.Chat Ecology" + AuthHook -->|DDP/REST| RCServer[Rocket.Chat Server] + InputEngine -->|SendMessage| RCServer + RCServer -->|Real-time Stream| Store + end +``` + +### 4.2 solving the "Quoting" Challenge + +One of the specific pain points I've identified (and started prototyping) is the logic for quoting messages. Currently, it relies on fragile string manipulation. + +**Current Fragile Approach:** + +```javascript +// Relies on simple text appending, prone to breaking with formatting +setInputText(`[ ](${msg.url}) ${msg.msg}`); +``` + +**Proposed Robust Approach:** +I will implement a structured object model for the input state, separate from the plain text representation. + +```javascript +// Proposed Interface for Input State +interface InputState { + text: string; + attachments: Attachment[]; + quoting: { + messageId: string; + author: string; + contentSnippet: string; + } | null; +} + +// State Action Handler +const handleQuote = (message) => { + setChatState(prev => ({ + ...prev, + quoting: { + messageId: message._id, + author: message.u.username, + contentSnippet: message.msg.substring(0, 50) + "..." + } + })); +}; +``` + +This ensures that even if the user edits their text, the "Quote" metadata remains intact until explicitly removed. + +### 4.3 Authentication State Machine + +To fix the `useRCAuth` desync issues, I will treat authentication as a finite state machine rather than a boolean flag. + +```typescript +type AuthState = + | "IDLE" + | "CHECKING_TOKEN" + | "AUTHENTICATED" + | "ANONYMOUS" + | "ERROR"; + +// Improved Hook Logic (Conceptual) +const useRobustAuth = () => { + const [state, send] = useMachine(authMachine); + + useEffect(() => { + if (token && isExpired(token)) { + send("REFRESH_NEEDED"); + } + }, [token]); + + // ... automatic recovery logic +}; +``` + +--- + +## 5. Timeline (12 Weeks) + +### Community Bonding (May 1 - 26) + +- **Goal:** Deep dive into the `Rocket.Chat.js.SDK` (driver) to understand exactly how the DDP connection is managed. +- **Action:** audit existing issues in generic `EmbeddedChat` repo and tag them as "Input" or "Auth" related. + +### Phase 1: The Input Engine (May 27 - June 30) + +- **Week 1-2:** Refactor `ChatInput.js` to separate UI from Logic. Create `useChatInput` hook. +- **Week 3-4:** Implement the "Rich Quoting" feature. Ensure quotes look like quotes in the preview, not just markdown text. +- **Week 5:** Unit testing for edge cases (e.g., quoting a message that contains a quote). + +### Phase 2: Authentication & Stability (July 1 - July 28) + +- **Week 6-7:** Audit `useRCAuth`. specific focus on the "resume" token flow. +- **Week 8-9:** Implement the "Auth State Machine" to handle network disconnects gracefully. +- **Week 10:** Update the UI to show non-intrusive "Connecting..." states instead of failing silently. + +### Phase 3: Polish & Documentation (July 29 - August 25) + +- **Week 11:** Accessibility (A11y) audit. Ensure the new input and auth warnings are screen-reader friendly. +- **Week 12:** Documentation. Write a "Migration Guide" for developers using the old SDK. Create a video demo of the new reliable flow. + +--- + +## 6.
