Anyone please give little bit of clue. How a topic works in nodebb?

Can you please tell me how the topics/posts are created and works in nodebb? All the related files in GitHub and how they are connected? I need to understand them to make a plugin development. Specially I need to to know how the infinite scroll works and composer is integrated. Also I need to remove pagination bar except the page-bottom button will be there.

I want to make a widget. Thanks.

Thank you thousand times @frissdiegurke .

Much appreciate your reply. Its simple and clear. Will help newcomers and novice like me.

Hi Friends, I am really excited to write my first post here. I am visiting nodeBB for more than six months but never had courage to write as I am new to node.js technologies but I love forums and nodeBB.

So as for the newcomers like me and others who want to join nodeBB development including plugins, widgets and themes, I think its important to understand basic nodeBB architecture and development tools.

I am requesting you to make a list of technologies and tools one must know/learn to contribute. For example like OS, IDE, frameworks, languages, database, design/UX tools etc.

I am totally new to programming languages, as I am a database administrator (SQL).

Thank you.
