Trait EventType 

pub trait EventType {
    // Required methods
    fn get_name(&self) -> String;
    fn get_filter(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, EngineError>;
}

An event type in the application. Event types have a name, which be used to specify subscriptions by components (plugins) in applications. They also have a filter, which is a byte array that appears at the beginning of every message of the type. The filter must uniquely determine messages to b of said type.

Required Methods

fn get_name(&self) -> String

return the name of the event type

fn get_filter(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, EngineError>

compute the byte array filter for all messages of this event type. The filter must uniquely determine this event type. The default implementation just returns the event name as bytes.
