# Project Overview
Chatwoot is an open-source customer engagement platform that helps businesses manage customer conversations across multiple channels (email, website live chat, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc.) in a unified inbox. It is designed for support teams, sales teams, and businesses looking to provide excellent customer service while maintaining control over their data.

- Primary languages detected:
- Ruby (1933 files) Backend framework (Rails)
- JavaScript/Vue (1007 `.vue` files, 988 `.js` files) Frontend framework
- JSON (2471 files) Configuration and data
- Other: no-extension (8796 files) Likely includes logs, build artifacts, or miscellaneous files
## File Structure & Code Organization
- `__mocks__/` Contains mock data and test fixtures for JavaScript/Vue components.
- `app/` Core Rails application directory (models, controllers, views, helpers, etc.).
- `bin/` Executable scripts for setup, deployment, and utilities.

- `vendor/` Third-party dependencies and vendored code.
- `Gemfile`, `Gemfile.lock` Ruby dependency management.
- `package.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml` JavaScript dependency management.
- `docker-compose.yaml`, `docker-compose.production.yaml`, `docker-compose.test.yaml` Docker Compose configurations for different environments.
- `config.ru` Rack configuration for Rails.
- `Rakefile` Custom Rake tasks.
- `Makefile` Build automation scripts.
- `tailwind.config.js`, `postcss.config.js`, `vite.config.ts` Frontend build and styling tooling.
- `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, `SECURITY.md` Project documentation and governance.
- `LICENSE` Project licensing information.
- `Procfile`, `Procfile.dev`, `Procfile.test`, `Procfile.tunnel` Process management for Heroku and local development.
## Technology Stack Summary
- **Backend**: Ruby on Rails (MVC architecture)
- **Frontend**: Vue.js (with Vite for bundling)
- **Database**: PostgreSQL (primary), Redis (caching/sidekiq)
- **Testing**: RSpec (backend), Jest/Vitest (frontend)
- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS (utility-first CSS framework)
- **Build Tools**: Vite, esbuild, pnpm (package manager)
- **Deployment**: Docker, Clever Cloud, Heroku
- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions (likely, based on standard Rails/Vue setups)
## Core Framework Stack
- **Backend**: Ruby on Rails (handles API, business logic, and database interactions)
- **Frontend**: Vue 3 (composition API, single-file components)
- **Real-time**: Action Cable (WebSockets for live chat)
- **Background Jobs**: Sidekiq (Redis-backed async processing)
- **Authentication**: Devise (with custom extensions for multi-tenancy)
## UI & Interaction Libraries
- **UI Kit**: Custom Vue components with Tailwind CSS styling
- **Design System**: Follows accessibility best practices (WCAG) and supports theming
- **Localization**: Crowdin integration for multi-language support
- **CLI Tools**: Custom Rake tasks and scripts for administration
## Development Tools Overview
- **CLI**: `bin/rails`, `bin/rake`, `npm run dev`
- **Scripts**: `script/` directory for common workflows (e.g., `script/setup`)
- **Debugging**: `debug_auth.rb`, `debug_jasmine_tool.rb` for testing
- **Linting**: RuboCop (Ruby), ESLint (JavaScript)
