@polkadot/api 1.32.1

v1.32.1

on Node.js NPM

Upgrade priority: Low. Recommended when manually using provider connect/disconnect or using multiple instances in a single process.

• Breaking change Previously .isReady could throw an error, now it will always succeed on connection. For trapping errors, use the .isReadyOrError variant on the API
• Breaking change The isConnected provider interface is now a getter, replacing previous calls to provider.isConnected(). Additionally the provider.disconnect() is now async, aligning with .connect().

Contributed:

• Expand vesting information via derive balances (Thanks to https://github.com/niklabh)
• Add isReadyOrError to API, isReady always succeeds (Thanks to https://github.com/shawntabrizi)

Changes:

• Adjust memoization to work on a per-instance basis, with no contamination between multiple api/provider instances
• Added derive.chain.getBlock(hash) to retrieve a SignedBlock extended with an .author (same as derive.chain.getHeader(...))
• Added api.{connect, disconnect}() as well as isConnected interfaces. The first functions async returning Promise<void>
• Error on provider connections will now emit all (as expected) via the event emitter
• Ensure that initial connection failures always retry (when using auto-connection management)
• The api.derive.staking.query/queryMulti no longer retrieves session keys (can be done via .keys/keysMulti)
• Add api.derive.accounts.accountId to perform AccountId lookups (from indices or actual AccountId)
• Lessen load of paymentInfo queries to only use accounId mappings as available
• Adjust staking derives to cater for early Substrate 2.0 chains (optional/non-optional EraIndexes)
• Cater for the handling of nested aliased types, e.g. wrapped inside Vec or Tuple
• Add the support for the grandpa_subscribeJustifications RPC
• Adjust Call.toHuman() to remove decoding-related technical internal details
• Static metadata & tests updated for the latest substrate master
• toHuman() & .toBigInt() has been explicitly added to the API documentation
• Adjust known types for latest Kusama network state
