Additional information

  • Mocking:
    • Using Mocktopus to mock function returns.
    • External crate dependencies with state defined in ext.rs files that allow to mock cross-pallet behavior.
  • Pallet isolation:
    • External crates defined in the ext.rs to allow consistent cross-pallet APIs even if changes are made to the underlying implementations.
  • Type isolation:
    • In pallets containing a lot of logic implemented on custom data types, a types.rs file is used to store these types and their methods.
