Module Heading ============== .. NOTE: Prefer to identify-modules-with-dashes despite historical examples. .. _module:short-name: A short summary of the module. What features does this module provide? An anchor should be specified at the top of the module using the format ``module:name``. Complicated modules may wish to have architecture diagrams or event flows (e.g. VoIP call flows) here. Custom subsections can be included but they should be used *sparingly* to reduce the risk of putting client or server behaviour information in these custom sections. Events ------ List the new event types introduced by this module, if any. If there are no new events, this section can be omitted. Event types should be done as subsections. This section is intended to document the "common shared event structure" between client and server. Deviations from this shared structure should be documented in the relevant behaviour section. ``m.example.event.type`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There should be JSON Schema docs for this event. Once there is JSON schema, there will be a template variable with dots in the event type replaced with underscores and the suffix ``_event``. You can insert a template like so: {{m_example_event_type_event}} Client behaviour ---------------- List any new HTTP endpoints. These endpoints should be documented using Swagger. Once there is Swagger, there will be a template variable based on the name of the YAML file with the suffix ``_cs_http_api``. You can insert a template for swagger docs like so: {{name-of-yaml-file-without-file-ext_cs_http_api}} List the steps the client needs to take to correctly process this module. List what data structures the client should be storing in order to aid implementation. Server behaviour ---------------- Does the server need to handle any of the new events in a special way (e.g. typing timeouts, presence). Advice on how to persist events and/or requests are recommended to aid implementation. Federation-specific logic should be included here. Security considerations ----------------------- This includes privacy leaks: for example leaking presence info. How do misbehaving clients or servers impact this module? This section should always be included, if only to say "we've thought about it but there isn't anything to do here".
