The message: Please note the upcoming deprecation of the balances.transfer call.
What is the Balances::transfer becomes Balances::transfer_allow_death meaning?
Should I use it like this?
const { tx } = expandMetadata(this.api.registry, this.api.runtimeMetadata);
const methodFunction2 = tx['balances']['transfer_allow_death'];
That is correct.
Some renaming:
- Balances::set_balance becomes Balances::force_set_balance
- Balances::transfer becomes Balances::transfer_allow_death
In the latter case, since ecosystem tooling largely depends on using transfer, a compatibility stub for transfer remains, however this naming is DEPRECATED and ecosystem tools should move over to using transfer_allow_death within 3 months at which point the transfer alias will be removed.
