The event is the former message, but way more flexible, allowing us to use it for different goals. Currently, we only use it for messages and some room events.

IEvent

Interface Definition

interface IEvent<T extends EDataDefinition> {
	_id: string;
	clid?: string;
	pids: Array<string>;
	v: number;
	ts: Date;
	src: string;
	ct: EventContext;
	cid: string;
	t: EventTypeDescriptor;
	dHash: string;
	o: T;
	d: T;
	isLeaf?: boolean;
	deletedAt?: Date;
}
Property Description
_id The event id, which is a SHA256 hash of the src, ct, cid, _pids, t, ts and dHash
clid This is the "id generated by the client", on V1 our clients generate the _id of the message, so this needs to be here for backward compatibility
pids The ids of the previous events
v The version of the schema
src The source of this event, which server, this will be used to federate events later on
ct This is part of the context, holds the type of the context (for example, "room"), more in EventContext
cid This is also part of the context, holds the of the context (like the room id)
t The type of the event, details in EventTypeDescriptor
dHash The hash of some or all of the properties on d, depending on the event type
o The event's data when it was created, this never changes and it is used to calcute the hash when a integrity verification is realized
d The event's data, the payload, details in EventDataDefinition, this can change when and event is updated using IEventDataUpdate
isLeaf This will on appear when it is set to true and determines wheter or not this is the latest item of a chain, the leaf of the tree. More than one event may have the isLeaf flagged as true in the same context
deletedAt The date that this event was deleted

Example of types "room" and "msg":
