Migrating from aleph-js

We're slowly rolling out the aleph-js package, here are the main differences between both implementation.

While the Typescript SDK and the aleph-js follow the same global patterns here are some of the notable differences.
Naming convention
All the the methods related to messages and accounts are PascalCase (camel case, with a leading uppercase)
Example 1: Creating an account
aleph-js
aleph-sdk-ts
import { ethereum } from 'aleph-js'
​
const { account } = await ethereum.new_account()
import { ethereum } from 'aleph-sdk-ts/dist/accounts'
​
const { account } = await ethereum.NewAccount() 
Example 2: Publish a Post message
Using the ethereum we created in the previous example we can now send a post message.
aleph-js
aleph-sdk-ts
import { posts } from 'aleph-js'
​
await posts.submit(
    account.address, 
    'mytype',
    { body: 'test' },
    {
         account: account,
         channel: 'TEST',
         api_server: 'https://api2.aleph.im'
     }
 )
import { post } from 'aleph-sdk-ts/'
​
await post.Publish({
            APIServer: 'https://api2.aleph.im',
            channel: 'TEST',
            inlineRequested: true,
            storageEngine: ItemType.inline,
            account: account,
            postType: 'mytype',
            content: content,
        });
