Returns

On failure, a reason of failure is returned. On Success, DataSubmitted event, transaction data, transaction hash and block hash is returned.

Submit data using a specific app_id

  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.

PLEASE NOTE

  1. You can submit data to Avail DA using a specific app_id that you created. If you don’t know how, read more in our docs here.

  2. You can submit data to ANY app_id, even if you didn’t create it. This however does not contitute an attack vector since the rollups building on top of Avail DA can always filter out DA submissions.

  1. Inside your-file-name.ts, paste the following code:
avail-js
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv'; import { Account, SDK, Pallets } from 'avail-js-sdk'; dotenv.config(); export async function submitData() { // 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("Account Address: ", account.address); // Replace with your own AppID const appId = 89; console.log(`Submitting data to App Id: ${appId}`); // Create data submission transaction const data = "My Data Submission"; const tx = sdk.tx.dataAvailability.submitData(data); console.log("Submitting transaction with data..."); // Execute and wait for inclusion with app_id const res = await tx.executeWaitForInclusion(account, { app_id: appId }); // 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"); } // Extract event data if (res.events === undefined) throw new Error("No events found"); // Transaction Details console.log( `Block Hash: ${res.blockHash}, Block Number: ${res.blockNumber}, Tx Hash: ${res.txHash}, Tx Index: ${res.txIndex}` ); // Find DataSubmitted event const event = res.events.findFirst(Pallets.DataAvailabilityEvents.DataSubmitted); if (event === undefined) throw new Error("DataSubmitted event not found"); console.log(`Data submitted successfully:`); console.log(`Who: ${event.who}`); console.log(`DataHash: ${event.dataHash}`); console.log("Data submission completed successfully"); process.exit(0); } // Execute the function submitData();
  1. Run the code using:
terminal
ts-node your-file-name.ts

This will lead to your data being submitted through a specific app_id, which you can verify by looking up your transaction on the Avail explorer .
