Derives are not covered

[vikiival]

Detour into derives states:

The api.derive interfaces will be covered in a follow-up section

However there is no follow-up section 🥹

Those are tricky - trying to keep those current would be a nightmare since it really is into undocumented and very unstable territory. (They change/break without concern about external usage)

really is into undocumented and very unstable territory.

Maybe just mention the commonly used ones in the cookbook?

const { availableBalance } = await api.derive.balances.all(address)

// instead of 

const { data: { free: availableBalance } } = await api.query.system.account(address)

I think there could be many more that I am not aware of.

Btw: I will be happy to write it down.
