message:set_meta(KEY, VALUE)

Messages are associated with some metadata. You can think of this metadata as being equivalent to a JSON object.

The set_meta method allows you to set a field of that object to a value that you specify.

You can assign any value that is serializable as a JSON:

-- set foo='bar', a string value
msg:set_meta('foo', 'bar')

-- set foo=123, a numeric value
msg:set_meta('foo', 123)

-- set foo=true, a boolean value
msg:set_meta('foo', true)

-- set foo={key="value"}, an object value
msg:set_meta('foo', { key = 'value' })

You can retrieve a metadata value via message:get_meta.

Pre-defined meta values

The following meta values are unique to the message scope:

<style> table tbody tr td:nth-of-type(2) { white-space: nowrap; } </style>

Scope	Name	Purpose	Since
