This example demonstrates how to use one subgraph as a data source for another, leveraging the Sushiswap v3 subgraph on the Base chain. The setup involves two subgraphs:
- Source Subgraph: Tracks event data as entities.
- Dependent Subgraph: Uses the source subgraph as a data source.
These subgraphs are located in the source
and dependent
directories, respectively.
The source subgraph is a basic event-tracking subgraph that records events emitted by relevant contracts. The dependent subgraph references the source subgraph as a data source, using the entities from the source as triggers. While the source subgraph is a standard subgraph, the dependent subgraph utilizes the subgraph composition feature.
The source subgraph tracks events from the Sushiswap v3 subgraph on the Base chain. This subgraph’s configuration file is located in the source/subgraph.yaml
.
The dependent subgraph, located in the dependent/subgraph.yaml
, specifies the source subgraph as a data source. This subgraph uses entities from the source as triggers, defining specific actions in response to entity changes.
To set the source subgraph as a data source in the dependent subgraph, include the following in subgraph.yaml
:
specVersion: 1.3.0
schema:
file: ./schema.graphql
dataSources:
- kind: subgraph
name: Factory
network: scroll
source:
address: 'QmdXu8byAFCGSDWsB5gMQjWr6GUvEVB7S1hemfxNuomerz'
startBlock: 82522
Here, source.address
refers to the Deployment ID of the source subgraph, and startBlock
specifies the block from which indexing should begin.
Below is an example of defining handlers in the dependent subgraph:
export function handleInitialize(trigger: EntityTrigger<Initialize>): void {
if (trigger.operation === EntityOp.Create) {
let entity = trigger.data;
let poolAddressParam = Address.fromBytes(entity.poolAddress);
// Update pool sqrt price and tick
let pool = Pool.load(poolAddressParam.toHexString()) as Pool;
pool.sqrtPrice = entity.sqrtPriceX96;
pool.tick = BigInt.fromI32(entity.tick);
pool.save();
// Update token prices
let token0 = Token.load(pool.token0) as Token;
let token1 = Token.load(pool.token1) as Token;
// Update ETH price in USD
let bundle = Bundle.load('1') as Bundle;
bundle.ethPriceUSD = getEthPriceInUSD();
bundle.save();
updatePoolDayData(entity);
updatePoolHourData(entity);
// Update derived ETH price for tokens
token0.derivedETH = findEthPerToken(token0);
token1.derivedETH = findEthPerToken(token1);
token0.save();
token1.save();
}
}
In this example, the handleInitialize
function is triggered when a new Initialize
entity is created in the source subgraph, passed as EntityTrigger<Initialize>
. The handler updates the pool and token entities based on data from the new Initialize
entity.
EntityTrigger
has three fields:
operation
: Specifies the operation type, which can beCreate
,Modify
, orRemove
.type
: Indicates the entity type.data
: Contains the entity data.
Developers can then determine specific actions for the entity data based on the operation type.
