Query Beam

To query Beams, you need to use the queryBeamByEscrowIds function. This function takes an array of EscrowIds and returns an array of BeamReadModels. The BeamReadModel is a subset of BeamModelV2. Treat it like a lightweight version of the BeamModelV2 - Value Object pattern.

public query func queryBeamByEscrowIds(idArray : [EscrowId]) : async [BeamReadModel]

Usually, before calling queryBeamByEscrowIds, you will need to find a list of EscrowId from BeamEscrow service using the user's identity principle.

Once you have the EscrowId, you can use dfx command line to retrieve the Beam streaming status.

For example, with EscrowId 0:

dfx canister beam queryBeamByEscrowIds "(vec{0})"

It should return something like this:

(
  vec {
    record {
      id = 0 : nat32;
      status = variant { active };
      beamType = variant { payment };
      createdAt = 1_682_665_947_905_076_000 : int;
      escrowId = 0 : nat32;
      scheduledEndDate = 1_682_714_555_000_000_000 : int;
      startDate = 1_682_665_947_905_076_000 : int;
    };
  },
)

active means it is still being streamed.

The status could be:

{ #created; #active; #paused; #completed }

When it has finished streaming, the full amount would be available for claiming. The status would be #completed.
