calling getMessage() from submit topic message docs results in TypeError: not a function

[mgarbs]

Description

Called getMessage() to get the message but a TypeError was thrown instead

Here are the docs submit-a-message#get-transaction-values

Steps to reproduce

1. run this snippet

    console.log('Create submit message tx');
    const submitMsgTransaction = await new TopicMessageSubmitTransaction()
        .setTopicId(newTopicId)
        .setMessage('{"myNameIs": "json"}');

    
    const getMessage = submitMsgTransaction.getMessage(); // throws TypeError: submitMsgTransaction.getMessage is not a function

Hello @mgarbs 👋

For all property getters, we provide native getters instead of getX methods

/**
     * @returns {?Uint8Array}
     */
    get message() {
        return this._message;
    }

Therefore, for your specific case, you should use submitMsgTransaction.message

We are going to fix that into the documentation as well.

Awesome! Thanks :)
Do you want me to close this when we merge the PR for the docs on this?

@mgarbs We are going to handle them. Thank you.

We've synced with the team and decided to deprecate .message and provide .getMessage(). It will be changed into the next release.
