How to check if the signed tx is already submitted?

[LiveDuo]

The following code opens a Metamask window requesting to sign a transaction.

const bundlr = new WebBundlr(bundlrNode, currency, provider, {})
await bundlr.utils.getBundlerAddress(currency)
await bundlr.ready()

Is there a way to check if the signed transaction is already submitted to the bundler node?

For example:

const bundlr = new WebBundlr(bundlrNode, currency, provider, {})
await bundlr.utils.getBundlerAddress(currency)
if (alreadySubmitted) { // any way to do this?
  await bundlr.ready()
}

PS: The goal is to avoid showing the Metamask modal for every new upload.

The signing prompt ('connection modal') is solely so that WebBundlr can get the user's public key/address - no data is actually submitted anywhere - but this means that this prompt effectively always has to occur. There is, however, work being put into removing this step of the process - but I cannot give you a definite timeframe for when/if this change will be released. As a side note; as long as you are re-using the same WebBundlr instance, a user should only have to interact with the connection modal once per site visit - it should be noted that a separate modal for each upload is, however, unavoidable.

If I understand upload calls getSigner that has a different implementation for each chain.

Then if this.signer is null, InjectedEthereumSigner creates a new signer:

Are the function above the relevant ones for ethereum?

Yup, InjectedEthereumSigner is the signer that creates the connection modal.
