Read storage
Many important variables are available through the storage API. This example shows how to call a few of those APIs.
// Import the API
const { ApiRx } = require('@polkadot/api');
// Import dependencies from RxJs
const { combineLatest, of } = require('rxjs');
const { first, switchMap } = require('rxjs/operators');
// Our address for Alice on the dev chain
const Alice = '5GoKvZWG5ZPYL1WUovuHW3zJBWBP5eT8CbqjdRY4Q6iMaDtZ';
function main () {
// Create our API with a default connection to the local node
new ApiRx(provider).isReady
.pipe(
// Here we ake our basic chain state/storage queries
switchMap((api) => combineLatest(
of(api),
api.query.session.validators().pipe(first())
)),
switchMap(([api, validators]) => {
// In the next step, we're checking if the node has active validators.
// If it does, we're making another call to the api to get the balances for all validators
const balances = (validators && validators.length > 0)
? combineLatest(validators.map(authorityId => api.query.balances.freeBalance(authorityId).pipe(first())))
: of(null);
// We're combining the results together with the emitted value 'validators',
// which we're turning back into an observable using of()
return combineLatest(
api.query.system.accountNonce(Alice).pipe(first()),
api.query.timestamp.blockPeriod().pipe(first()),
of(validators),
balances
);
})
)
// Then we're subscribing to the emitted results
.subscribe(([accountNonce, blockPeriod, validators, validatorBalances]) => {
console.log(`accountNonce(${Alice}) ${accountNonce}`);
console.log(`blockPeriod ${blockPeriod.toNumber()} seconds`);
if (validatorBalances) {
// And lastly we print out the authorityIds and balances of all validators
console.log('validators', validators.map((authorityId, index) => ({
address: authorityId.toString(),
balance: validatorBalances[index].toString()
})));
}
});
}
main().catch(console.error).finally(_ => process.exit());
