You're seeing just the function copy, go back to MessageStore.Message module for more information.

copy(type, recorded_message, copy_list)

Specs

copy(message_type(), recorded_message(), [path() | key()]) :: event_message()

The copy function constructs a message from another message's data.

Examples

iex> recorded_message = %EventStore.RecordedEvent{
...> causation_id: nil,
...> correlation_id: "abcd1234",
...> created_at: ~U[2021-07-15 12:15:07.379908Z],
...> data: %{foo: "bazinga"},
...> event_id: "b9fcdccd-a495-4df3-889a-4b38f35a2618",
...> event_number: 935,
...> event_type: "Test",
...> metadata: %{bar: "baz", moo: 1},
...> stream_uuid: "test-123",
...> stream_version: 935
...> }
iex> Message.copy("Foo", recorded_message, [:data, [:metadata, :bar]])
%EventStore.EventData{
  event_id: nil,
  event_type: "Foo",
  data: %{foo: "bazinga"},
  metadata: %{bar: "baz"},
  causation_id: nil,
  correlation_id: nil
}

Warning

Copying the metadata should be used with extreme caution, and has no practical use in everyday applicative logic. Except for certain testing and infrastructural scenarios, copying the identifying metadata from one message to another can result in significant malfunctions if the copied message is then written to a stream and processed.
