WARNING: This is an API preview! Expect major bugs, glaring omissions, and breaking changes!

This crate defines types and macros for constructing easy to use account and module implementations. It integrates with the encoding layer but does not specify a state management framework.

Context

The Context struct gets passed to all handler functions that interact with state but what exactly is it? In the Golang Cosmos SDK, Context was never precisely defined and ended up becoming sort of a bag of variables which were passed around everywhere. This made it difficult to understand what was actually being passed around and what was being used.

Context here is defined to have the following purposes:

• wrap ixc_message_api::header::ContextInfo which includes the current account, calling account, and gas limit
• hold a handle to ixc_schema's bump allocator
• hold a handle to the function used to send messages
