Class ExtensibleEvent<TContent>Abstract

Determines if this event is equivalent to the provided event type. This is recommended over instanceof checks due to issues in the JS runtime (and layering of dependencies in some projects).

Implementations should pass this check off to their super classes if their own checks fail. Some primary implementations do not extend fallback classes given they support the primary type first. Thus, those classes may return false if asked about their fallback representation.

Note that this only checks primary event types: legacy events, like m.room.message, should/will fail this check.

Returns

True if this event could be represented as the given type.

Serializes the event into a format which can be used to send the event to the room.

Returns

The serialized event.
