Bastian Köcher f3bf5c1acd xcm: Change TypeInfo::path to not include staging (#1948)
The `xcm` crate was renamed to `staging-xcm` to be able to publish it to
crates.io as someone as squatted `xcm`. The problem with this rename is
that the `TypeInfo` includes the crate name which ultimately lands in
the metadata. The metadata is consumed by downstream users like
`polkadot-js` or people building on top of `polkadot-js`. These people
are using the entire `path` to find the type in the type registry. Thus,
their code would break as the type path would now be [`staging_xcm`,
`VersionedXcm`] instead of [`xcm`, `VersionedXcm`]. This pull request
fixes this by renaming the path segment `staging_xcm` to `xcm`.

This requires: https://github.com/paritytech/scale-info/pull/197

DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION

The produced values do not fulfill the cryptographic requirements for random numbers. Should not be used for high-stake production use-cases.

Randomness Module

The Randomness Collective Flip module provides a random function that generates low-influence random values based on the block hashes from the previous 81 blocks. Low-influence randomness can be useful when defending against relatively weak adversaries. Using this pallet as a randomness source is advisable primarily in low-security situations like testing.

Public Functions

See the Module struct for details of publicly available functions.

Usage

Prerequisites

Import the Randomness Collective Flip module and derive your module's configuration trait from the system trait.

Example - Get random seed for the current block

use frame_support::traits::Randomness;

#[frame_support::pallet]
pub mod pallet {
    use super::*;
    use frame_support::pallet_prelude::*;
    use frame_system::pallet_prelude::*;

    #[pallet::pallet]
    pub struct Pallet<T>(_);

    #[pallet::config]
    pub trait Config: frame_system::Config + pallet_insecure_randomness_collective_flip::Config {}

    #[pallet::call]
    impl<T: Config> Pallet<T> {
        #[pallet::weight(0)]
        pub fn random_module_example(origin: OriginFor<T>) -> DispatchResult {
            let _random_value = <pallet_insecure_randomness_collective_flip::Pallet<T>>::random(&b"my context"[..]);
            Ok(())
        }
    }
}
