Decoding custom events

[kylezs]

In the example here, the Event is decoded into a Wrapper struct, TransferEvent which is packaged with subxt in balances.rs, not from pallet-balances itself.

In that case, when using custom events, is the pattern you're going for to have a wrapper for each custom pallet, containing a wrapper like what is done for balances in the example? Or am I missing something?

Also noted that there is an open issue here which potentially makes what I've written above irrelevant. Is there any progress on that front?

Currently I'm working on paritytech/substrate#8615 which will provide full type metadata for all pallet events. Once this in in we will likely overhaul the subxt API so that it can fully generate all the necessary types from the metadat for interacting with pallets. This new API is TBC, but you should be able to subscribe to custom events.

@ascjones
Thanks. Do you have an estimate on when this work will be done?

[ascjones]

Most likely a month of two away.

Most likely a month of two away.

Any further updates on this?

The substrate PR mentioned is merged, and the subxt side of things is in progress in #294
