Bump subxt from 0.35.3 to 0.36.0

[dependabot]

Bumps subxt from 0.35.3 to 0.36.0.

Release notes

Sourced from subxt's releases.

v0.36.0

[0.36.0] - 2024-05-16

This release adds a few new features, which I'll go over below in more detail.

subxt-core

We now have a brand new subxt-core crate, which is #[no-std] compatible, and contains a lot of the core logic that is needed in Subxt. Using this crate, you can do things in a no-std environment like:

• blocks: decode and explore block bodies.
• constants: access and validate the constant addresses in some metadata.
• custom_values: access and validate the custom value addresses in some metadata.
• metadata: decode bytes into the metadata used throughout this library.
• storage: construct storage request payloads and decode the results you'd get back.
• tx: construct and sign transactions (extrinsics).
• runtime_api: construct runtime API request payloads and decode the results you'd get back.
• events: decode and explore events.

Check out the docs for more, including examples of each case.

A breaking change that comes from migrating a bunch of logic to this new crate is that the ExtrinsicParams trait is now handed &ClientState<T> rather than a Client. ClientState is just a concrete struct containing the state that one needs for things like signed extensions.

Support for reconnecting

We've baked in a bunch of support for automatically reconnecting after a connection loss into Subxt. This comes in three parts:

1. An RPC client that is capable of reconnecting. This is gated behind the unstable-reconnecting-rpc-client feature flag at the moment, and
2. Handling in the subxt Backends such that when the RPC client notifies it that it is reconnecting, the backend will transparently handle this behind the scenes, or else pass on a DisconnectedWillReconnect error to the user where it cannot. Note that the individual LegacyRpcMethods and UnstableRpcMethods are not automatically retried on reconnection. Which leads us to..
3. A couple of util helpers (subxt::backend::retry and subxt::backend::retry_stream) which can be used in conjunction with a reconnecting RPC client to make it easy to automatically retry RPC method calls where needed.

We'd love feedback on this reconnecting work! To try it out, enable the unstable-reconnecting-rpc-client feature flag and then you can make use of this like so:

use std::time::Duration;
use futures::StreamExt;
use subxt::backend::rpc::reconnecting_rpc_client::{Client, ExponentialBackoff};
use subxt::{OnlineClient, PolkadotConfig};
// Generate an interface that we can use from the node's metadata.
#[subxt::subxt(runtime_metadata_path = "../artifacts/polkadot_metadata_small.scale")]
pub mod polkadot {}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create a new client with with a reconnecting RPC client.
let rpc = Client::builder()
// We can configure the retry policy; here to an exponential backoff.
// This API accepts an iterator of retry delays, and here we use take
// to limit the number of retries.
.retry_policy(
ExponentialBackoff::from_millis(100)
</tr></table>
