import { SDK, WaitFor, Keyring, BN } from "avail-js-sdk"

const providerEndpoint = "wss://turing-rpc.avail.so/ws";
const sdk = await SDK.New(providerEndpoint)
const Alice = 'This is a random seed phrase please replace with your own';
const account = new Keyring({ type: "sr25519" }).addFromUri(Alice)
const dest = "5HGjWAeFDfFCWPsjFQdVV2Msvz2XtMktvgocEZcCj68kUMaw" // Eve
const amount = new BN(10).pow(new BN(18)) // one Avail
const result = await sdk.tx.balances.transferKeepAlive(dest, amount, WaitFor.BlockInclusion, account)
if (result.isErr) {
console.log(result.reason)
process.exit(1)
}
console.log("From=" + result.event.from + ", To=" + result.event.to + ", Amount=" + result.event.amount)
console.log("TxHash=" + result.txHash + ", BlockHash=" + result.blockHash)
process.exit()
}
