prathamesh0 421e7498d3 Ensuring chronological execution of hooks and checkpointing (#264)
* Subscribe to hooks queue in existing watchers

* Change naming strategy for generated get and save functions

* Push checkpointing job after post-block hook job completed

* Using hooks status to ensure their chronological execution

* Add default indices to IPLDBlock table

* Add kind parameter to getState GQL API

* Add checkpoint CLI

* Add blockHash arg to checkpoint CLI and update codegen docs

* Print out block hash for checkpoint CLI

* Use log from debug for logging

* Filter using contract at start in hierarchical query

* Make kind argument to prepare IPLDBlock required

Code Generator

Setup

  • In root of the repository:

    • Install required packages:

      yarn
      
    • Build files:

      yarn build
      

Run

  • Run the following command to generate a watcher from a contract file:

    yarn codegen --input-file <input-file-path> --contract-name <contract-name> --output-folder [output-folder] --mode [eth_call | storage | all] --flatten [true | false] --kind [lazy | active]
    
    • input-file(alias: i): Input contract file path or an URL (required).
    • contract-name(alias: c): Main contract name (required).
    • output-folder(alias: o): Output folder path. (logs output using stdout if not provided).
    • mode(alias: m): Code generation mode (default: all).
    • flatten(alias: f): Flatten the input contract file (default: true).
    • kind (alias: k): Kind of watcher (default; active).

    Note: When passed an URL as input-file, it is assumed that it points to an already flattened contract file.

    Examples:

    Generate code in both eth_call and storage mode, active kind.

    yarn codegen --input-file ./test/examples/contracts/ERC20.sol --contract-name ERC20 --output-folder ../my-erc20-watcher --mode all --kind active
    

    Generate code in eth_call mode using a contract provided by an URL.

    yarn codegen --input-file https://git.io/Jupci --contract-name ERC721 --output-folder ../my-erc721-watcher --mode eth_call
    

    Generate code in storage mode, lazy kind.

    yarn codegen --input-file ./test/examples/contracts/ERC721.sol --contract-name ERC721 --output-folder ../my-erc721-watcher --mode storage --kind lazy
    

    Generate code for ERC20 contract in both eth_call and storage mode, active kind:

    yarn codegen --input-file ../../node_modules/@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol --contract-name ERC20 --output-folder ../demo-erc20-watcher --mode all --kind active
    

    This will create a folder called demo-erc20-watcher containing the generated code at the specified path. Follow the steps in Run Generated Watcher to setup and run the generated watcher.

Run Generated Watcher

Setup

  • Run the following command to install required packages:

    yarn
    
  • Create the databases configured in environments/local.toml.

  • Update the derived state checkpoint settings in environments/local.toml.

Customize

  • Indexing on an event:

    • Edit the custom hook function handleEvent (triggered on an event) in src/hooks.ts to perform corresponding indexing using the Indexer object.

    • Edit the custom hook function handleBlock (triggered on a block) in src/hooks.ts to save IPLDBlocks using the Indexer object.

    • Edit the custom hook function genesisHook (triggered on watch-contract) in src/hooks.ts to save a genesis checkpoint IPLDBlock using the Indexer object.

    • The existing example hooks in src/hooks.ts are for an ERC20 contract.

Run

  • Run lint:

    yarn lint
    
  • Run the watcher:

    yarn server
    
  • If the watcher is an active watcher:

    • Run the job-runner:

      yarn job-runner
      
    • To watch a contract:

      yarn watch:contract --address <contract-address> --kind <contract-kind> --starting-block [block-number]
      
    • To fill a block range:

      yarn fill --start-block <from-block> --end-block <to-block>
      
    • To create a checkpoint for a contract:

      yarn checkpoint --address <contract-address> --block-hash [block-hash]
      

Known Issues

  • Currently, node-fetch v2.6.2 is being used to fetch from URLs as v3.0.0 is an ESM-only module and ts-node transpiles to import it using require.
