//! Crate `ruma_events` contains serializable types for the events in the [Matrix](https://matrix.org) //! specification that can be shared by client and server code. //! //! All data exchanged over Matrix is expressed as an event. //! Different event types represent different actions, such as joining a room or sending a message. //! Events are stored and transmitted as simple JSON structures. //! While anyone can create a new event type for their own purposes, the Matrix specification //! defines a number of event types which are considered core to the protocol, and Matrix clients //! and servers must understand their semantics. //! ruma-events contains Rust types for each of the event types defined by the specification and //! facilities for extending the event system for custom event types. //! //! # Event types //! //! ruma-events includes a Rust enum called `EventType`, which provides a simple enumeration of //! all the event types defined by the Matrix specification. Matrix event types are serialized to //! JSON strings in [reverse domain name //! notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_domain_name_notation), although the core event //! types all use the special "m" TLD, e.g. *m.room.message*. //! `EventType` also includes a variant called `Custom`, which is a catch-all that stores a string //! containing the name of any event type that isn't part of the specification. //! `EventType` is used throughout ruma-events to identify and differentiate between events of //! different types. //! //! # Event kinds //! //! Matrix defines three "kinds" of events: //! //! 1. **Events**, which are arbitrary JSON structures that have two required keys: //! * `type`, which specifies the event's type //! * `content`, which is a JSON object containing the "payload" of the event //! 2. **Room events**, which are a superset of events and represent actions that occurred within //! the context of a Matrix room. //! They have at least the following additional keys: //! * `event_id`, which is a unique identifier for the event //! * `room_id`, which is a unique identifier for the room in which the event occurred //! * `sender`, which is the unique identifier of the Matrix user who created the event //! * Optionally, `unsigned`, which is a JSON object containing arbitrary additional metadata //! that is not digitally signed by Matrix homeservers. //! 3. **State events**, which are a superset of room events and represent persistent state //! specific to a room, such as the room's member list or topic. //! Within a single room, state events of the same type and with the same "state key" will //! effectively "replace" the previous one, updating the room's state. //! They have at least the following additional keys: //! * `state_key`, a string which serves as a sort of "sub-type." //! The state key allows a room to persist multiple state events of the same type. //! You can think of a room's state events as being a `BTreeMap` where the keys are the tuple //! `(event_type, state_key)`. //! * Optionally, `prev_content`, a JSON object containing the `content` object from the //! previous event of the given `(event_type, state_key)` tuple in the given room. //! //! ruma-events represents these three event kinds as traits, allowing any Rust type to serve as a //! Matrix event so long as it upholds the contract expected of its kind. //! //! # Core event types //! //! ruma-events includes Rust types for every one of the event types in the Matrix specification. //! To better organize the crate, these types live in separate modules with a hierarchy that //! matches the reverse domain name notation of the event type. //! For example, the *m.room.message* event lives at `ruma_events::room::message::MessageEvent`. //! Each type's module also contains a Rust type for that event type's `content` field, and any //! other supporting types required by the event's other fields. //! //! # Custom event types //! //! Although any Rust type that implements `Event`, `RoomEvent`, or `StateEvent` can serve as a //! Matrix event type, ruma-events also includes a few convenience types for representing events //! that are not covered by the spec and not otherwise known by the application. //! `CustomEvent`, `CustomRoomEvent`, and `CustomStateEvent` are simple implementations of their //! respective event traits whose `content` field is simply a `serde_json::Value` value, which //! represents arbitrary JSON. //! //! # Serialization and deserialization //! //! All concrete event types in ruma-events can be serialized via the `Serialize` trait from //! [serde](https://serde.rs/) and can be deserialized from as `EventJson`. In order to //! handle incoming data that may not conform to `ruma-events`' strict definitions of event //! structures, deserialization will return `EventJson::Err` on error. This error covers both //! structurally invalid JSON data as well as structurally valid JSON that doesn't fulfill //! additional constraints the matrix specification defines for some event types. The error exposes //! the deserialized `serde_json::Value` so that developers can still work with the received //! event data. This makes it possible to deserialize a collection of events without the entire //! collection failing to deserialize due to a single invalid event. The "content" type for each //! event also implements `Serialize` and either `TryFromRaw` (enabling usage as //! `EventJson` for dedicated content types) or `Deserialize` (when the content is a //! type alias), allowing content to be converted to and from JSON indepedently of the surrounding //! event structure, if needed. //! //! # Collections //! //! With the trait-based approach to events, it's easy to write generic collection types like //! `Vec>`. //! However, there are APIs in the Matrix specification that involve heterogeneous collections of //! events, i.e. a list of events of different event types. //! Because Rust does not have a facility for arrays, vectors, or slices containing multiple //! concrete types, ruma-events provides special collection types for this purpose. //! The collection types are enums which effectively "wrap" each possible event type of a //! particular event "kind." //! //! Because of the hierarchical nature of event kinds in Matrix, these collection types are divied //! into two modules, `ruma_events::collections::all` and `ruma_events::collections::only`. //! The "all" versions include every event type that implements the relevant event trait as well as //! more specific event traits. //! The "only" versions include only the event types that implement "at most" the relevant event //! trait. //! //! For example, the `ruma_events::collections::all::Event` enum includes *m.room.message*, because //! that event type is both an event and a room event. //! However, the `ruma_events::collections::only::Event` enum does *not* include *m.room.message*, //! because *m.room.message* implements a *more specific* event trait than `Event`. #![recursion_limit = "1024"] #![warn(missing_debug_implementations, missing_docs, rust_2018_idioms)] // Since we support Rust 1.36.0, we can't apply this suggestion yet #![allow(clippy::use_self)] use std::{fmt::Debug, time::SystemTime}; use js_int::Int; use ruma_identifiers::{EventId, RoomId, UserId}; use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; use self::room::redaction::RedactionEvent; pub use self::custom::{CustomEvent, CustomRoomEvent, CustomStateEvent}; #[deprecated = "Use ruma_serde::empty::Empty directly instead."] pub use ruma_serde::empty::Empty; #[macro_use] mod macros; mod algorithm; mod error; mod event_type; mod from_raw; mod json; #[doc(hidden)] // only public for external tests pub mod util; // Hack to allow both ruma-events itself and external crates (or tests) to use procedural macros // that expect `ruma_events` to exist in the prelude. extern crate self as ruma_events; pub mod call; pub mod custom; /// Enums for heterogeneous collections of events. pub mod collections { pub mod all; pub mod only; mod raw { pub mod all; pub mod only; } } pub mod direct; pub mod dummy; pub mod forwarded_room_key; pub mod fully_read; pub mod ignored_user_list; pub mod key; pub mod presence; pub mod push_rules; pub mod receipt; pub mod room; pub mod room_key; pub mod room_key_request; pub mod sticker; pub mod stripped; pub mod tag; pub mod to_device; pub mod typing; pub use self::{ algorithm::Algorithm, error::{FromStrError, InvalidEvent, InvalidInput}, event_type::EventType, from_raw::{FromRaw, TryFromRaw}, json::EventJson, }; /// A basic event. pub trait Event: Debug + Serialize + Sized + TryFromRaw { /// The type of this event's `content` field. type Content: Debug + Serialize; /// The event's content. fn content(&self) -> &Self::Content; /// The type of the event. fn event_type(&self) -> EventType; } /// An event within the context of a room. pub trait RoomEvent: Event { /// The unique identifier for the event. fn event_id(&self) -> &EventId; /// Time on originating homeserver when this event was sent. fn origin_server_ts(&self) -> SystemTime; /// The unique identifier for the room associated with this event. /// /// This can be `None` if the event came from a context where there is /// no ambiguity which room it belongs to, like a `/sync` response for example. fn room_id(&self) -> Option<&RoomId>; /// The unique identifier for the user who sent this event. fn sender(&self) -> &UserId; /// Additional key-value pairs not signed by the homeserver. fn unsigned(&self) -> &UnsignedData; } /// An event that describes persistent state about a room. pub trait StateEvent: RoomEvent { /// The previous content for this state key, if any. fn prev_content(&self) -> Option<&Self::Content>; /// A key that determines which piece of room state the event represents. fn state_key(&self) -> &str; } /// Extra information about an event that is not incorporated into the event's /// hash. #[derive(Clone, Debug, Default, Deserialize, Serialize)] pub struct UnsignedData { /// The time in milliseconds that has elapsed since the event was sent.
