< / code > < / pre >
< p > < strong > < span style = "color:red" >
This callback is very experimental and can and will break without notice. Module developers
are encouraged to implement < code > check_event_for_spam< / code > from the spam checker category instead.
< / span > < / strong > < / p >
< p > Called when processing any incoming event, with the event and a < code > StateMap< / code >
representing the current state of the room the event is being sent into. A < code > StateMap< / code > is
a dictionary that maps tuples containing an event type and a state key to the
corresponding state event. For example retrieving the room's < code > m.room.create< / code > event from
the < code > state_events< / code > argument would look like this: < code > state_events.get((" m.room.create" , " " ))< / code > .
The module must return a boolean indicating whether the event can be allowed.< / p >
< p > Note that this callback function processes incoming events coming via federation
traffic (on top of client traffic). This means denying an event might cause the local
copy of the room's history to diverge from that of remote servers. This may cause
federation issues in the room. It is strongly recommended to only deny events using this
callback function if the sender is a local user, or in a private federation in which all
servers are using the same module, with the same configuration.< / p >
< p > If the boolean returned by the module is < code > True< / code > , it may also tell Synapse to replace the
event with new data by returning the new event's data as a dictionary. In order to do
that, it is recommended the module calls < code > event.get_dict()< / code > to get the current event as a
dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.< / p >
< p > If < code > check_event_allowed< / code > raises an exception, the module is assumed to have failed.
The event will not be accepted but is not treated as explicitly rejected, either.
An HTTP request causing the module check will likely result in a 500 Internal
Server Error.< / p >
< p > When the boolean returned by the module is < code > False< / code > , the event is rejected.
(Module developers should not use exceptions for rejection.)< / p >
< p > Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
received over federation.< / p >
< p > If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns < code > True< / code > , Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return < code > True< / code > will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.< / p >

(see < a href = "https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom" > the spec< / a >

the request is a server admin.< / p >
< p > Modules can modify the < code > request_content< / code > (by e.g. adding events to its < code > initial_state< / code > ),
or deny the room's creation by raising a < code > module_api.errors.SynapseError< / code > .< / p >
< p > If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
