[Feature Request] Add Lock and Unlock events to pallet balances
What is requested?
Whenever some balance is locked or unlocked, a corresponding event Locked
or Unlocked
should be emitted.
What problem would it solve? The events in the balances pallet already map any state change to an account very well, but they are not complete yet. Software that relies on the completeness of events (besides information in transactions), such as blockchain indexers and processors, cannot retrieve this information (lock changes) in an elegant way currently. Workarounds have to be applied in those environments to completely capture state changes to an account in the balance pallet.
Additional notes
Since every public function in the balances pallet that modifies locks ultimately calls update_locks
to apply the update, we only have to check in update_locks
whether the new lock is smaller or greater to determine if it is a Locked
or Unlocked
event and to be able to determine how big the change is.
@sea212 do you want to make the PR that solves this?
Sure, I'll prepare a PR soon.
