VerificationRequest

Accessors

accepting

get accepting(): boolean
True if we have started the process of sending an m.key.verification.ready (but have not necessarily received the remote echo which causes a transition to VerificationPhase.Ready.

Returns boolean
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:68

cancellationCode

get cancellationCode(): null | string
If this request has been cancelled, the cancellation code (e.g m.user) which is responsible for cancelling this verification.

Returns null | string
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:187

cancellingUserId

get cancellingUserId(): undefined | string
The id of the user that cancelled the request.

Only defined when phase is Cancelled

Returns undefined | string
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:194

chosenMethod

get chosenMethod(): null | string
the method picked in the .start event

Returns null | string
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:87

declining

get declining(): boolean
True if we have started the process of sending an m.key.verification.cancel (but have not necessarily received the remote echo which causes a transition to VerificationPhase.Cancelled).

Returns boolean
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:74

initiatedByMe

get initiatedByMe(): boolean
True if this request was initiated by the local client.

For in-room verifications, the initiator is who sent the m.key.verification.request event. For to-device verifications, the initiator is who sent the m.key.verification.start event.

Returns boolean
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:45

isSelfVerification

get isSelfVerification(): boolean
True if the other party in this request is one of this user's own devices.

Returns boolean
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:54

methods

get methods(): string[]
once the phase is Started (and !initiatedByMe) or Ready: common methods supported by both sides

Returns string[]
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:84

otherDeviceId

get otherDeviceId(): undefined | string
For verifications via to-device messages: the ID of the other device. Otherwise, undefined.

Returns undefined | string
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:51

otherUserId

get otherUserId(): string
The user id of the other party in this request

Returns string
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:48

pending

get pending(): boolean
True if the request has sent its initial event and needs more events to complete (ie it is in phase Requested, Ready or Started).

Returns boolean
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:62

null indicates that there is no timeout

Returns null | number
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:81

transactionId

get transactionId(): undefined | string
Unique ID for this verification request.

An ID isn't assigned until the first message is sent, so this may be undefined in the early phases.

Returns undefined | string
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:30

verifier

get verifier(): undefined | Verifier
The verifier which is doing the actual verification, once the method has been established. Only defined when the phase is Started.

beginKeyVerification

beginKeyVerification(method, targetDevice?): Verifier
Create a Verifier to do this verification via a particular method.

If no previous events have been sent, pass in targetDevice to set who to direct this request to.
Parameters
- method: string
  the name of the verification method to use.
- Optional targetDevice: {
  deviceId?: string;
  userId?: string;
  }
  details of where to send the request to.

  reason?: string;
  }
  Details for the cancellation, including reason (defaults to "User declined"), and code (defaults to m.user). Deprecated: this parameter is ignored by the Rust cryptography implementation.
  - Optional code?: string
  - Optional reason?: string
Returns Promise<void>
Promise which resolves when the event has been sent.

listenerCount

listenerCount(event): number
Returns the number of listeners listening to the event named event.
Parameters
- event: EventEmitterEvents | Change
  The name of the event being listened for
Returns number
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.listenerCount
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:115

listeners

listeners(event): Function[]
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named event.
Parameters
- event: EventEmitterEvents | Change
Returns Function[]
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.listeners
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:122

off

off<T>(event, listener): this
Alias for TypedEventEmitter#removeListener

Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.off
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:129

on

on<T>(event, listener): this
Adds the listener function to the end of the listeners array for the event named event.

No checks are made to see if the listener has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination of event and listener will result in the listener being added, and called, multiple times.

By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The TypedEventEmitter#prependListener method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.
Type Parameters
- T extends EventEmitterEvents | Change
Parameters
- event: T
  The name of the event.
- listener: Listener<Change, VerificationRequestEventHandlerMap, T>
  The callback function
Returns this
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.on
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:150

once

once<T>(event, listener): this
Adds a one-time listener function for the event named event. The next time event is triggered, this listener is removed and then invoked.

Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The TypedEventEmitter#prependOnceListener method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.
Type Parameters
- T extends EventEmitterEvents | Change
Parameters
- event: T
  The name of the event.
- listener: Listener<Change, VerificationRequestEventHandlerMap, T>
  The callback function
Returns this
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.once
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:169

otherPartySupportsMethod

otherPartySupportsMethod(method): boolean
Checks whether the other party supports a given verification method. This is useful when setting up the QR code UI, as it is somewhat asymmetrical: if the other party supports SCAN_QR, we should show a QR code in the UI, and vice versa. For methods that need to be supported by both ends, use the methods property.
Parameters
- method: string
  the method to check
Returns boolean
true if the other party said they supported the method
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:98

prependListener

prependListener<T>(event, listener): this
Adds the listener function to the beginning of the listeners array for the event named event.

No checks are made to see if the listener has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination of event and listener will result in the listener being added, and called, multiple times.
Type Parameters
- T extends EventEmitterEvents | Change
Parameters
- event: T
  The name of the event.
- listener: Listener<Change, VerificationRequestEventHandlerMap, T>
  The callback function
Returns this
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.prependListener
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:186

prependOnceListener

prependOnceListener<T>(event, listener): this
Adds a one-timelistener function for the event named event to the beginning of the listeners array. The next time event is triggered, this listener is removed, and then invoked.
Type Parameters
- T extends EventEmitterEvents | Change
Parameters
- event: T
  The name of the event.
- listener: Listener<Change, VerificationRequestEventHandlerMap, T>
  The callback function
Returns this
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.prependOnceListener
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:202

rawListeners

rawListeners(event): Function[]
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName, including any wrappers (such as those created by .once()).
Parameters
- event: EventEmitterEvents | Change
Returns Function[]
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.rawListeners
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:243

removeAllListeners

removeAllListeners(event?): this
Removes all listeners, or those of the specified event.

It is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code, particularly when the EventEmitter instance was created by some other component or module (e.g. sockets or file streams).
Parameters
- Optional event: EventEmitterEvents | Change
  The name of the event. If undefined, all listeners everywhere are removed.
Returns this
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.removeAllListeners
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:219

removeListener

removeListener<T>(event, listener): this
Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event named event.
Type Parameters
- T extends EventEmitterEvents | Change
Parameters
- event: T
- listener: Listener<Change, VerificationRequestEventHandlerMap, T>
Returns this
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Inherited from TypedEventEmitter.removeListener
- Defined in src/models/typed-event-emitter.ts:232

scanQRCode

scanQRCode(qrCodeData): Promise<Verifier>
Start a QR code verification by providing a scanned QR code for this verification flow.

Validates the QR code, and if it is ok, sends an m.key.verification.start event with method set to m.reciprocate.v1, to tell the other side the scan was successful.

See also VerificationRequest#startVerification which can be used to start other verification methods.
Parameters
- qrCodeData: Uint8Array
  the decoded QR code.
Returns Promise<Verifier>
A verifier; call .verify() on it to wait for the other side to complete the verification flow.
- Defined in src/crypto-api/verification.ts:158

startVerification

startVerification(method): Promise<Verifier>
Send an m.key.verification.start event to start verification via a particular method.

This is normally used when starting a verification via emojis (ie, method is set to m.sas.v1).
Parameters
- method: string
  the name of the verification method to use.
Returns Promise<Verifier>
The verifier which will do the actual verification.
