Create a new room

POST {{baseUrl}}/createRoom

Create a new room with various configuration options.

The server MUST apply the normal state resolution rules when creating the new room, including checking power levels for each event. It MUST apply the events implied by the request in the following order:

1. The m.room.create event itself. Must be the first event in the room.

2. An m.room.member event for the creator to join the room. This is needed so the remaining events can be sent.

3. A default m.room.power_levels event, giving the room creator (and not other members) permission to send state events. Overridden by the power_level_content_override parameter.

4. An m.room.canonical_alias event if room_alias_name is given.

5. Events set by the preset. Currently these are the m.room.join_rules, m.room.history_visibility, and m.room.guest_access state events.

6. Events listed in initial_state, in the order that they are listed.

7. Events implied by name and topic (m.room.name and m.room.topic state events).

8. Invite events implied by invite and invite_3pid (m.room.member with membership: invite and m.room.third_party_invite).

The available presets do the following with respect to room state:

The server will create a m.room.create event in the room with the requesting user as the creator, alongside other keys provided in the creation_content.
