I am trying to calculate how many transactions can fit into a single block. I have a block limit of 5mb. How can i learn the byte size of a single submitted transaction so i can estimate how many transactions can fit into a single block. Is there a way to do it from a polkadot js api?
Thank you
In polkadot-js, for any Codec object (the base of any object returned in the API), there is an .encodedLength getter that returns the length. So assuming the extrinsic is signed, tx.encodedLength will have the information.
(Unsigned transactions, since they are missing the signature, etc. info, would be shorter)
