Preimage


Calls


note_preimage

Register a preimage on-chain.

If the preimage was previously requested, no fees or deposits are taken for providing the preimage. Otherwise, a deposit is taken proportional to the size of the preimage.

Attributes

Name Type
bytes Vec<u8>

Python

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Preimage', 'note_preimage', {'bytes': 'Bytes'}
)

request_preimage

Request a preimage be uploaded to the chain without paying any fees or deposits.

If the preimage requests has already been provided on-chain, we unreserve any deposit a user may have paid, and take the control of the preimage out of their hands.

Attributes

Name Type
hash T::Hash

Python

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Preimage', 'request_preimage', {'hash': 'scale_info::12'}
)

unnote_preimage

Clear an unrequested preimage from the runtime storage.

If len is provided, then it will be a much cheaper operation.

  • hash: The hash of the preimage to be removed from the store.
  • len: The length of the preimage of hash.

Attributes

Name Type
hash T::Hash

Python

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Preimage', 'unnote_preimage', {'hash': 'scale_info::12'}
)

unrequest_preimage

Clear a previously made request for a preimage.

NOTE: THIS MUST NOT BE CALLED ON hash MORE TIMES THAN request_preimage.

Attributes

Name Type
hash T::Hash

Python

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Preimage', 'unrequest_preimage', {'hash': 'scale_info::12'}

result = substrate.query(
    'Preimage', 'PreimageFor', [('scale_info::12', 'u32')]
)

'Bytes'

StatusFor

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Preimage', 'StatusFor', ['scale_info::12']
)

{
    'Requested': {
        'count': 'u32',
        'deposit': (None, ('AccountId', 'u128')),
        'len': (None, 'u32'),
    },
    'Unrequested': {'deposit': ('AccountId', 'u128'), 'len': 'u32'},
}
