Event class

All data exchanged over Matrix is expressed as an "event". Typically each client action (e.g. sending a message) correlates with exactly one event.

Methods

aggregatedEvents(Timeline timeline, String type) Set<Event>
Get all the aggregated event objects for a given type. To be able to do this you have to pass a timeline
attachmentOrThumbnailMxcUrl({bool getThumbnail = false}) Uri?
Gets the mxc url of an attachment/thumbnail of a file event, taking sizes into account, or null if not present
calcLocalizedBody(MatrixLocalizations i18n, {bool withSenderNamePrefix = false, bool hideReply = false, bool hideEdit = false, bool plaintextBody = false, bool removeMarkdown = false}) Future<String>
Returns a localized String representation of this event. For a room list you may find withSenderNamePrefix useful. Set hideReply to crop all lines starting with '>'. With plaintextBody it'll use the plaintextBody instead of the normal body which in practice will convert the html body to a plain text body before falling back to the body. In either case this function won't return the html body without converting it to plain text. removeMarkdown allow to remove the markdown formating from the event body. Usefull form message preview or notifications text.
calcLocalizedBodyFallback(MatrixLocalizations i18n, {bool withSenderNamePrefix = false, bool hideReply = false, bool hideEdit = false, bool plaintextBody = false, bool removeMarkdown = false}) String
Works similar to calcLocalizedBody() but does not wait for the sender user to be fetched. If it is not in the cache it will just use the fallback and display the localpart of the MXID according to the values of formatLocalpart and mxidLocalPartFallback in the Client class.
calcUnlocalizedBody({bool hideReply = false, bool hideEdit = false, bool plaintextBody = false, bool removeMarkdown = false}) String
Calculating the body of an event regardless of localization.
cancelSend() Future<void>
Removes an unsent or yet-to-send event from the database and timeline. These are events marked with the status SENDING or ERROR. Throws an exception if used for an already sent event!
downloadAndDecryptAttachment({bool getThumbnail = false, Future<Uint8List> downloadCallback(Uri)?, bool fromLocalStoreOnly = false}) Future<MatrixFile>
Downloads (and decrypts if necessary) the attachment of this event and returns it as a MatrixFile. If this event doesn't contain an attachment, this throws an error. Set getThumbnail to true to download the thumbnail instead. Set fromLocalStoreOnly to true if you want to retrieve the attachment from the local store only without making http request.
fetchSenderUser() Future<User?>
Requests the user object of the sender of this event.
getAttachmentUri({bool getThumbnail = false, bool useThumbnailMxcUrl = false, double width = 800.0, double height = 800.0, ThumbnailMethod method = ThumbnailMethod.scale, int minNoThumbSize = _minNoThumbSize, bool animated = false}) Future<Uri?>
Gets the attachment https URL to display in the timeline, taking into account if the original image is tiny. Returns null for encrypted rooms, if the image can't be fetched via http url or if the event does not contain an attachment. Set getThumbnail to true to fetch the thumbnail, set width, height and method for the respective thumbnailing properties. minNoThumbSize is the minimum size that an original image may be to not fetch its thumbnail, defaults to 80k useThumbnailMxcUrl says weather to use the mxc url of the thumbnail, rather than the original attachment. animated says weather the thumbnail is animated
getAttachmentUrl({bool getThumbnail = false, bool useThumbnailMxcUrl = false, double width = 800.0, double height = 800.0, ThumbnailMethod method = ThumbnailMethod.scale, int minNoThumbSize = _minNoThumbSize, bool animated = false}) Uri?
Gets the attachment https URL to display in the timeline, taking into account if the original image is tiny. Returns null for encrypted rooms, if the image can't be fetched via http url or if the event does not contain an attachment. Set getThumbnail to true to fetch the thumbnail, set width, height and method for the respective thumbnailing properties. minNoThumbSize is the minimum size that an original image may be to not fetch its thumbnail, defaults to 80k useThumbnailMxcUrl says weather to use the mxc url of the thumbnail, rather than the original attachment. animated says weather the thumbnail is animated
getDisplayEvent(Timeline timeline) Event
Fetches the event to be rendered, taking into account all the edits and the like. It needs a timeline for that.
getLocalizedBody(MatrixLocalizations i18n, {bool withSenderNamePrefix = false, bool hideReply = false, bool hideEdit = false, bool plaintextBody = false, bool removeMarkdown = false}) String
getReplyEvent(Timeline timeline) Future<Event?>
Searches for the reply event in the given timeline.
hasAggregatedEvents(Timeline timeline, String type) bool
Get whether this event has aggregated events from a certain type To be able to do that you need to pass a timeline
isAttachmentInLocalStore({bool getThumbnail = false}) Future<bool>
Returns if an attachment is in the local store
matchesEventOrTransactionId(String? search) bool
returns if this event matches the passed event or transaction id
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
redactEvent({String? reason, String? txid}) Future<String?>
Redacts this event. Throws ErrorResponse on error.
remove() Future<bool>
requestKey() Future<void>
If this event is encrypted and the decryption was not successful because the session is unknown, this requests the session key from other devices in the room. If the event is not encrypted or the decryption failed because of a different error, this throws an exception.
sendAgain({String? txid}) Future<String?>
Try to send this event again. Only works with events of status -1.
setRedactionEvent(Event redactedBecause) → void
toJson() Map<String, dynamic>
override
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
