Depending on @substrate/txwrapper-dev

[EmilIvanichkovv]

Greetings! 👋

We are currently working on an open-source library that aims to facilitate offline decoding of Polkadot and Westend transactions. While exploring potential dependencies, we came across the @substrate/txwrapper-dev package, which offers numerous useful functions for our purpose. However, we noticed that it appears in your README under the "non-published" section, although the package is indeed published on npm. This led us to wonder whether it is acceptable to include it as a dependency in our project.

Can you advise us if depending on @substrate/txwrapper-dev is recommended or if we should instead duplicate the relevant parts of the code in our library?

Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your guidance on this matter.

Yea feel free to totally use this package. It was always intended to be a dev package for testing in txwrapper-*, but if you find merit in using it then I would say feel free to use it. I will update the README as this has changed.

That being said there is some drawbacks. One drawback to using txwrapper-dev is you are subject to its releases and updates so if you need things to be iterated on fast for your local dev environment then it could take a few days for a new release to come out.

I think it's a trade-off we can accept. Furthermore, since it is an open-source project, we can always contribute to the development work here to ease and fasten the iterations

Awesome, sounds really great :) We are more than happy at doing weekly releases at the beginning of every week as well!
