Settings

This is an example to create settings:

RocketChat.settings.addGroup('Settings_Group', function() {
    this.add('SettingInGroup', 'default_value', { type: 'boolean', public: true });

    this.section('Group_Section', function() {
        this.add('Setting_Inside_Section', 'default_value', {
            type: 'boolean', 
            public: true, 
            enableQuery: { 
                _id: 'SettingInGroup', 
                value: true 
            }
        });
    });
});

RocketChat.settings.add type:

roomTypes

You can create your own room type using (on the client):

RocketChat.roomTypes.add('l', 5, {
    template: 'livechat',
    icon: 'icon-chat-empty',
    route: {
        name: 'live',
        path: '/live/:name',
        action(params, queryParams) {
            Session.set('showUserInfo');
            openRoom('l', params.name);
        },
        link(sub)  {
            return { name: sub.name }
        }
    },
    condition: () => {
        return RocketChat.authz.hasAllPermission('view-l-room');
    }
});

You'll need publish information about the new room with (on the server):

RocketChat.roomTypes.setPublish('l', (identifier) => {
    return RocketChat.models.Rooms.findByTypeAndName('l', identifier, {
        fields: {
            name: 1,
            t: 1,
            cl: 1,
            u: 1,
            usernames: 1,
            v: 1
        }
    });
});

AccountBox

You can add items to the left upper corner drop menu:

AccountBox.addItem({
    name: 'Livechat',
    icon: 'icon-chat-empty',
    class: 'livechat-manager',
    condition: () => {
        return RocketChat.authz.hasAllPermission('view-livechat-manager');
    }
});
