watcher-ts

Setup

There are packages used from github so we need to follow the following steps to install them:

1. Create a github PAT (personal access token) if it does not already exist.

   https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token#creating-a-token

2. Configure the PAT with scopes mentioned in https://docs.github.com/en/packages/learn-github-packages/about-permissions-for-github-packages#about-scopes-and-permissions-for-package-registries. This is required to install or publish github packages.

3. Follow the steps in https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-npm-registry#authenticating-with-a-personal-access-token to authenticate to github packages. We can also run the follwing to authenticate by logging in to npm.

   $ npm login --scope=@cerc-io --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
   
   > Username: USERNAME
   > Password: TOKEN
   > Email: PUBLIC-EMAIL-ADDRESS
   

   Replace with the following:

   • USERNAME: GitHub username
   • TOKEN: Personal access token (configured above)
   • PUBLIC-EMAIL-ADDRESS: Email address

4. When authenticating to github packages for the first time, yarn install may throw Unauthorized error. To overcome this we need to run yarn install in packages/graph-node directory. After this yarn install for watcher-ts works properly even from root of the repo.

This project uses yarn workspaces.

Install packages (Node.JS v16.13.1):

yarn

Build packages:

yarn build

Tests

• graph-node

Demos

• IPLD statediff and checkpointing

Services

The default config files used by the watchers assume the following services are setup and running on localhost:

• vulcanize/go-ethereum on port 8545
• vulcanize/ipld-eth-server with native GQL API enabled, on port 8082

Note

• In vulcanize/ipld-eth-server, add the following statement to [ethereum] section in environments/config.toml:

  chainConfig = "./chain.json" # ETH_CHAIN_CONFIG

Watchers

• eden-watcher

Databases

Note: Requires postgres12.

Login as the postgres user:

sudo su - postgres

Create the databases for the watchers:

createdb erc20-watcher
createdb address-watcher

Create the databases for the job queues and enable the pgcrypto extension on them (https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/master/docs/usage.md#intro):

createdb erc20-watcher-job-queue
createdb address-watcher-job-queue

postgres@tesla:~$ psql -U postgres -h localhost erc20-watcher-job-queue
Password for user postgres:
psql (12.7 (Ubuntu 12.7-1.pgdg18.04+1))
SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.3, cipher: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, bits: 256, compression: off)
Type "help" for help.

erc20-watcher-job-queue=# CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto;
CREATE EXTENSION
erc20-watcher-job-queue=# exit

postgres@tesla:~$ psql -U postgres -h localhost address-watcher-job-queue
Password for user postgres:
psql (12.7 (Ubuntu 12.7-1.pgdg18.04+1))
SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.3, cipher: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, bits: 256, compression: off)
Type "help" for help.

address-watcher-job-queue=# CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto;
CREATE EXTENSION
address-watcher-job-queue=# exit

Reset

Reset the databases used by the watchers:

yarn db:reset

Run

Build the files in packages:

yarn build

# To watch for changes and build (used in development).
yarn build:watch

To run any watcher, cd into their package folder and run:

yarn server

If the watcher uses a job queue, start the job runner in another terminal:

yarn job-runner
