Ponder构建索引和多链查询

https://ponder.sh/

graph-node用了一段时间之后，偶然在GitHub上面发现了 ponder

感觉用着比 Graph Node 省心太多

主要区别

• 语言：Graph Node 使用 Rust 编写(部署subgraph需要用 AssemblyScript 写索引相关的逻辑)，而 Ponder.sh 使用 TypeScript。
  • AssemblyScript 相当难用。
• 开发体验：Ponder.sh 提供本地开发服务器和热重载功能，对开发者更友好。
  • Ponder 支持本地开发调试，Graph Node 无法调试索引逻辑。
• Ponder 直接支持多链多合约，Graph Node部署繁琐，支持多链需要部署多个 Graph Node。
• 类型安全：Ponder.sh 强调使用 TypeScript 实现类型安全，这对熟悉 TypeScript 的开发者来说可能更有利。
• 部署：Ponder.sh 提供更简单的部署选项，如 Node.js 和 Docker。

Quickstart

1. Run create-ponder

You will be asked for a project name, and if you are using a template (recommended). Then, the CLI will create a project directory, install dependencies, and initialize a git repository.

npm init ponder@latest
# or
pnpm create ponder
# or
yarn create ponder

2. Start the development server

Just like Next.js and Vite, Ponder has a development server that automatically reloads when you save changes in any project file. It also prints console.log statements and errors encountered while running your code. First, cd into your project directory, then start the server.

npm run dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
yarn dev

3. Add contracts & networks

Ponder fetches event logs for the contracts added to ponder.config.ts, and passes those events to the indexing functions you write.

// ponder.config.ts

import { createConfig } from "@ponder/core";
import { http } from "viem";
 
import { BaseRegistrarAbi } from "./abis/BaseRegistrar";
 
export default createConfig({
  networks: {
    mainnet: { 
      chainId: 1,
      transport: http("https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/...")
    },
  },
  contracts: {
    BaseRegistrar: {
      abi: BaseRegistrarAbi,
      network: "mainnet",
      address: "0x57f1887a8BF19b14fC0dF6Fd9B2acc9Af147eA85",
      startBlock: 9380410,
    },
  },
});

4. Define your schema

The ponder.schema.ts file contains the database schema, and defines the shape data that the GraphQL API serves.

// ponder.schema.ts

import { createSchema } from "@ponder/core";

export default createSchema((p) => ({
  EnsName: p.createTable({
    id: p.string(),
    name: p.string(),
    owner: p.string(),
    registeredAt: p.int(),
  }),
}));

5. Write indexing functions

Files in the src/ directory contain indexing functions, which are TypeScript functions that process a contract event. The purpose of these functions is to insert data into the entity store.

// src/BaseRegistrar.ts

import { ponder } from "@/generated";

ponder.on("BaseRegistrar:NameRegistered", async ({ event, context }) => {
  const { EnsName } = context.entities;
  const { name, owner } = event.params;

  await EnsName.create({
    id: `${name}-${owner}`,
    data: {
      name: name,
      owner: owner,
      registeredAt: event.block.timestamp,
    },
  });
});

See the create & update records docs for a detailed guide on writing indexing functions.

6. Query the GraphQL API

Ponder automatically generates a frontend-ready GraphQL API based on your ponder.schema.ts file. The API serves data that you inserted in your indexing functions.

{
  ensNames(limit: 2) {
    items {
      name
      owner
      registeredAt
    }
  }
}

{
  "ensNames": {
    "items": [
      {
        "name": "vitalik.eth",
        "owner": "0x0904Dac3347eA47d208F3Fd67402D039a3b99859",
        "registeredAt": 1580345271
      },
      {
        "name": "joe.eth",
        "owner": "0x6109DD117AA5486605FC85e040ab00163a75c662",
        "registeredAt": 1580754710
      }
    ]
  }
}
