# Code Generator
## Setup
* In root of the repository:
* Install required packages:
```bash
yarn
```
* Build files:
```bash
yarn build
```
## Run
* Run the following command to generate a watcher from a contract file:
```bash
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.
```bash
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.
```bash
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.
```bash
yarn codegen --input-file ./test/examples/contracts/ERC721.sol --contract-name ERC721 --output-folder ../my-erc721-watcher --mode storage --kind lazy
```
Generate code for `ERC721` contract in both `eth_call` and `storage` mode, `active` kind:
```bash
yarn codegen --input-file ../../node_modules/@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol --contract-name ERC721 --output-folder ../demo-erc721-watcher --mode all --kind active
```
This will create a folder called `demo-erc721-watcher` containing the generated code at the specified path. Follow the steps in [Run Generated Watcher](#run-generated-watcher) to setup and run the generated watcher.
## Run Generated Watcher
### Setup
* Run the following command to install required packages:
```bash
yarn
```
* Create the databases configured 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.
* Refer to `src/hooks.example.ts` for an example hook function for events in an ERC20 contract.
### Run
* Run lint:
```bash
yarn lint
```
* Run the watcher:
```bash
yarn server
```
* If the watcher is an `active` watcher:
* Run the job-runner:
```bash
yarn job-runner
```
* To watch a contract:
```bash
yarn watch:contract --address <contract-address> --kind ERC721 --starting-block [block-number]
```
* To fill a block range:
```bash
yarn fill --startBlock <from-block> --endBlock <to-block>
```
## Known Issues
* Currently, `node-fetch v2.6.2` is being used to fetch from URLs as `v3.0.0` is an [ESM-only module](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-fetch#loading-and-configuring-the-module) and `ts-node` transpiles to import it using `require`.
