parametertypeoptionaldescription
deststringfalseaccount that will receive funds

waitForWaitForfalsewait for block inclusion or finalization
accountKeyringPairfalseaccount that will send and sign the transaction
optionsSignerOptionstrueused to overwrite existing signer options

Return value

On failure, a reason of failure is returned. On Success, TransferEvent event, KilledAccount (optionally) event, transaction hash and block hash is returned.

Minimal Example

  1. You will need to set up the dev environment required to run this example. For instructions, check out our docs here.

  2. If you’re sending an extrinsic (i.e conducting a transaction) you will need to replace the demo seed phrase with your own seed phrase. The rest of the code should work as is.

  1. Inside your-file-name.ts, add the following code:
avail-js
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv'; import { Account, SDK, BN } from 'avail-js-sdk'; dotenv.config(); export async function transferAllowDeath() { // Initialize SDK with Turing endpoint const sdk = await SDK.New('wss://turing-rpc.avail.so/ws'); // Create account from seed in .env file const seed = process.env.SEED; if (!seed) { throw new Error("SEED environment variable is not set"); } // Create account from seed const account = Account.new(seed); console.log("Sender Address: ", account.address); // Destination address to send AVAIL to const destinationAddress = "5DDY2yzh8uCysYFAiRSTeQVwtZSKNF49CkQkyPH852xvrYKk"; console.log("Recipient Address: ", destinationAddress); // Amount to transfer: 12.345 AVAIL const amount = new BN('12345000000000000000'); // Create transfer transaction const tx = sdk.tx.balances.transferAllowDeath(destinationAddress, amount); console.log("Submitting transfer transaction..."); // Execute and wait for inclusion const res = await tx.executeWaitForInclusion(account, {}); // Check if transaction was successful const isOk = res.isSuccessful(); if (isOk === undefined) { throw new Error("Cannot check if transaction was successful"); } else if (!isOk) { throw new Error("Transaction failed"); } console.log("Transfer completed successfully"); console.log(`Transaction Hash: ${res.txHash}`); console.log(`Block Hash: ${res.blockHash}`); console.log(`Block Number: ${res.blockNumber}`); process.exit(0); } // Execute the function transferAllowDeath();
  1. Run the code using:
terminal
ts-node your-file-name.ts
