Question: How can I generate "types.json" file in each pallets ? #446

Open CocDap opened 3 years ago

CocDap commented 3 years ago

When I read recipes code or others substrate code. I saw that in every pallets has types.json. types.json contains information about storage when we declare in decl_module!. I dont know how to generate it (Although I find and know a file " aggrerate_types.json" that generate types.json, I dont how to execute that file )

Can anyone help me and explain why we generate that files and what we do? Thanks you so much

In recipes they aren't generated; they are written by hand. I don't know of a general process to generate them. But here is some info about how to convert your own Rust types into the corresponding json type definitions.
