Expand description

The pallet hooks trait. Implementing this lets you express some logic to execute.

Provided methods

The block is being finalized. Implement to have something happen.

The block is being initialized. Implement to have something happen.

Return the non-negotiable weight consumed in the block.

Perform a module upgrade.

NOTE: this doesn’t include all pallet logic triggered on runtime upgrade. For instance it doesn’t include the write of the pallet version in storage. The final complete logic triggered on runtime upgrade is given by implementation of OnRuntimeUpgrade trait by Pallet.

Warning

This function will be called before we initialized any runtime state, aka on_initialize wasn’t called yet. So, information like the block number and any other block local data are not accessible.

Return the non-negotiable weight consumed for runtime upgrade.

Implementing this function on a module allows you to perform long-running tasks that make (by default) validators generate transactions that feed results of those long-running computations back on chain.

NOTE: This function runs off-chain, so it can access the block state, but cannot preform any alterations. More specifically alterations are not forbidden, but they are not persisted in any way after the worker has finished.

This function is being called after every block import (when fully synced).

Implement this and use any of the Offchain sp_io set of APIs to perform off-chain computations, calls and submit transactions with results to trigger any on-chain changes. Any state alterations are lost and are not persisted.

Run integrity test.

The test is not executed in a externalities provided environment.
