Průvodce migrací AssemblyScript

Up until now, Subgraphs have been using one of the first versions of AssemblyScript⁠ (v0.6). Finally we’ve added support for the newest one available⁠ (v0.19.10)! 🎉

That will enable Subgraph developers to use newer features of the AS language and standard library.

This guide is applicable for anyone using graph-cli/graph-ts below version 0.22.0. If you’re already at a higher than (or equal) version to that, you’ve already been using version 0.19.10 of AssemblyScript 🙂

Note: As of 0.24.0, graph-node can support both versions, depending on the apiVersion specified in the Subgraph manifest.

Jak provést upgrade?

  1. Change your mappings apiVersion in subgraph.yaml to 0.0.9:
...dataSources:  ...    mapping:      ...      apiVersion: 0.0.9      ...
  1. Update the graph-cli you’re using to the latest version by running:
# if you have it globally installednpm install --global @graphprotocol/graph-cli@latest# or in your subgraph if you have it as a dev dependencynpm install --save-dev @graphprotocol/graph-cli@latest
  1. Do the same for graph-ts, but instead of installing globally, save it in your main dependencies:
npm install --save @graphprotocol/graph-ts@latest
  1. Postupujte podle zbytku příručky a opravte změny, které narušují jazyk.
  2. Run codegen and deploy again.

Prolomení změn

Nullability

Ve starší verzi AssemblyScript bylo možné vytvořit kód takto:

function load(): Value | null { ... }let maybeValue = load();maybeValue.aMethod();

V novější verzi je však hodnota nulovatelná a je nutné ji zkontrolovat takto:

let maybeValue = load()if (maybeValue) {  maybeValue.aMethod() // `maybeValue` is not null anymore}

Nebo si to vynuťte takto:

let maybeValue = load()! // breaks in runtime if value is nullmaybeValue.aMethod()

If you are unsure which to choose, we recommend always using the safe version. If the value doesn’t exist you might want to just do an early if statement with a return in you Subgraph handler.

Proměnlivé stínování

Before you could do variable shadowing⁠ and code like this would work:

let a = 10let b = 20let a = a + b

Nyní to však již není možné a překladač vrací tuto chybu:

ERROR TS2451: Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable 'a' let a = a + b; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~in assembly/index.ts(4,3)

Pokud jste použili stínování proměnných, musíte duplicitní proměnné přejmenovat.

Nulová srovnání

By doing the upgrade on your Subgraph, sometimes you might get errors like these:

ERROR TS2322: Type '~lib/@graphprotocol/graph-ts/common/numbers/BigInt | null' is not assignable to type '~lib/@graphprotocol/graph-ts/common/numbers/BigInt'.     if (decimals == null) {                     ~~~~ in src/mappings/file.ts(41,21)

To solve you can simply change the if statement to something like this:

if (!decimals) {  // or  if (decimals === null) {

Totéž platí, pokud místo == použijete !=.

Casting

The common way to do casting before was to just use the as keyword, like this:

let byteArray = new ByteArray(10)let uint8Array = byteArray as Uint8Array // equivalent to: <Uint8Array>byteArray

To však funguje pouze ve dvou případech:

  • Primitive casting (between types such as u8, i32, bool; eg: let b: isize = 10; b as usize);
  • Upcasting na dědičnost tříd (podtřída → nadtřída)

Příklady:

// primitive castinglet a: usize = 10let b: isize = 5let c: usize = a + (b as usize)
// upcasting on class inheritanceclass Bytes extends Uint8Array {}let bytes = new Bytes(2)// <Uint8Array>bytes // same as: bytes as Uint8Array

There are two scenarios where you may want to cast, but using as/<T>var isn’t safe:

  • Downcasting při dědění tříd (nadtřída → podtřída)
  • Mezi dvěma typy, které mají společnou nadtřídu
// downcasting on class inheritanceclass Bytes extends Uint8Array {}let uint8Array = new Uint8Array(2)// <Bytes>uint8Array // breaks in runtime :(
// between two types that share a superclassclass Bytes extends Uint8Array {}class ByteArray extends Uint8Array {}let bytes = new Bytes(2)// <ByteArray>bytes // breaks in runtime :(

For those cases, you can use the changetype<T> function:

// downcasting on class inheritanceclass Bytes extends Uint8Array {}let uint8Array = new Uint8Array(2)changetype<Bytes>(uint8Array) // works :)
// between two types that share a superclassclass Bytes extends Uint8Array {}class ByteArray extends Uint8Array {}let bytes = new Bytes(2)changetype<ByteArray>(bytes) // works :)

If you just want to remove nullability, you can keep using the as operator (or <T>variable), but make sure you know that value can’t be null, otherwise it will break.

// remove nullabilitylet previousBalance = AccountBalance.load(balanceId) // AccountBalance | nullif (previousBalance != null) {  return previousBalance as AccountBalance // safe remove null}let newBalance = new AccountBalance(balanceId)

For the nullability case we recommend taking a look at the nullability check feature⁠, it will make your code cleaner 🙂

Také jsme přidali několik dalších statických metod v některých typy abychom usnadnili odlévání, jsou to:

  • Bytes.fromByteArray
  • Bytes.fromUint8Array
  • BigInt.fromByteArray
  • ByteArray.fromBigInt

Kontrola nulovatelnosti s přístupem k vlastnostem

To use the nullability check feature⁠ you can use either if statements or the ternary operator (? and :) like this:

let something: string | null = 'data'let somethingOrElse = something ? something : 'else'// orlet somethingOrElseif (something) {  somethingOrElse = something} else {  somethingOrElse = 'else'}

However that only works when you’re doing the if / ternary on a variable, not on a property access, like this:

class Container {  data: string | null}let container = new Container()container.data = 'data'let somethingOrElse: string = container.data ? container.data : 'else' // doesn't compile

Který vypíše tuto chybu:

ERROR TS2322: Type '~lib/string/String | null' is not assignable to type '~lib/string/String'.   let somethingOrElse: string = container.data ? container.data : "else";                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chcete-li tento problém vyřešit, můžete vytvořit proměnnou pro přístup k této vlastnosti, aby překladač mohl provést kouzlo kontroly nulovatelnosti:

class Container {  data: string | null}let container = new Container()container.data = 'data'let data = container.datalet somethingOrElse: string = data ? data : 'else' // compiles just fine :)

Přetěžování operátorů s přístupem k vlastnostem

Pokud se pokusíte sečíst (například) nullable typ (z přístupu k vlastnosti) s typem, který nullable není, kompilátor jazyka AssemblyScript namísto toho, aby při kompilaci zobrazil varování, že jedna z hodnot je nullable, provede tichou kompilaci, čímž se kód může za běhu pokazit.

class BigInt extends Uint8Array {  @operator('+')  plus(other: BigInt): BigInt {    // ...  }}class Wrapper {  public constructor(public n: BigInt | null) {}}let x = BigInt.fromI32(2)let y: BigInt | null = nullx + y // give compile time error about nullabilitylet wrapper = new Wrapper(y)wrapper.n = wrapper.n + x // doesn't give compile time errors as it should

We’ve opened a issue on the AssemblyScript compiler for this, but for now if you do these kind of operations in your Subgraph mappings, you should change them to do a null check before it.

let wrapper = new Wrapper(y)if (!wrapper.n) {  wrapper.n = BigInt.fromI32(0)}wrapper.n = wrapper.n + x // now `n` is guaranteed to be a BigInt

Inicializace hodnot

Pokud máte nějaký takový kód:

var value: Type // nullvalue.x = 10value.y = 'content'

It will compile but break at runtime, that happens because the value hasn’t been initialized, so make sure your Subgraph has initialized their values, like this:

var value = new Type() // initializedvalue.x = 10value.y = 'content'

Také pokud máte v entitě GraphQL nulovatelné vlastnosti, jako je tato:

type Total @entity {  id: Bytes!  amount: BigInt}

A máte kód podobný tomuto:

let total = Total.load('latest')if (total === null) {  total = new Total('latest')}total.amount = total.amount + BigInt.fromI32(1)

You’ll need to make sure to initialize the total.amount value, because if you try to access like in the last line for the sum, it will crash. So you either initialize it first:

let total = Total.load('latest')if (total === null) {  total = new Total('latest')  total.amount = BigInt.fromI32(0)}total.tokens = total.tokens + BigInt.fromI32(1)

Or you can just change your GraphQL schema to not use a nullable type for this property, then we’ll initialize it as zero on the codegen step 😉

type Total @entity {  id: Bytes!  amount: BigInt!}
let total = Total.load('latest')if (total === null) {  total = new Total('latest') // already initializes non-nullable properties}total.amount = total.amount + BigInt.fromI32(1)

Inicializace vlastností třídy

Pokud exportujete třídy s vlastnostmi, které jsou jinými třídami (deklarovanými vámi nebo standardní knihovnou), jako je tento:

class Thing {}export class Something {  value: Thing}

The compiler will error because you either need to add an initializer for the properties that are classes, or add the ! operator:

export class Something {  constructor(public value: Thing) {}}// orexport class Something {  value: Thing  constructor(value: Thing) {    this.value = value  }}// orexport class Something {  value!: Thing}

Inicializace polí

The Array class still accepts a number to initialize the length of the list, however you should take care because operations like .push will actually increase the size instead of adding to the beginning, for example:

let arr = new Array<string>(5) // ["", "", "", "", ""]arr.push('something') // ["", "", "", "", "", "something"] // size 6 :(

V závislosti na typech, které používáte, např. nulovatelných, a na způsobu přístupu k nim se můžete setkat s chybou běhu, jako je tato:

ERRO Handler skipped due to execution failure, error: Mapping aborted at ~lib/array.ts, line 110, column 40, with message: Element type must be nullable if array is holey  wasm backtrace:     0: 0x19c4 - <unknown>!~lib/@graphprotocol/graph-ts/index/format         1: 0x1e75 - <unknown>!~lib/@graphprotocol/graph-ts/common/collections/Entity#constructor        2: 0x30b9 - <unknown>!node_modules/@graphprotocol/graph-ts/global/global/id_of_type

To actually push at the beginning you should either, initialize the Array with size zero, like this:

let arr = new Array<string>(0) // []arr.push('something') // ["something"]

Nebo byste ho měli zmutovat pomocí indexu:

let arr = new Array<string>(5) // ["", "", "", "", ""]arr[0] = 'something' // ["something", "", "", "", ""]

Schéma GraphQL

This is not a direct AssemblyScript change, but you may have to update your schema.graphql file.

Nyní již nelze v typech definovat pole, která jsou nenulovatelnými seznamy. Pokud máte takovéto schéma:

type Something @entity {  id: Bytes!}type MyEntity @entity {  id: Bytes!  invalidField: [Something]! # no longer valid}

You’ll have to add an ! to the member of the List type, like this:

type Something @entity {  id: Bytes!}type MyEntity @entity {  id: Bytes!  invalidField: [Something!]! # valid}

This changed because of nullability differences between AssemblyScript versions, and it’s related to the src/generated/schema.ts file (default path, you might have changed this).

Jiný

  • Aligned Map#set and Set#add with the spec, returning this (v0.9.2⁠)
  • Arrays no longer inherit from ArrayBufferView, but are now distinct (v0.10.0⁠)
  • Classes initialized from object literals can no longer define a constructor (v0.10.0⁠)
  • The result of a ** binary operation is now the common denominator integer if both operands are integers. Previously, the result was a float as if calling Math/f.pow (v0.11.0⁠)
  • Coerce NaN to false when casting to bool (v0.14.9⁠)
  • When shifting a small integer value of type i8/u8 or i16/u16, only the 3 respectively 4 least significant bits of the RHS value affect the result, analogous to the result of an i32.shl only being affected by the 5 least significant bits of the RHS value. Example: someI8 << 8 previously produced the value 0, but now produces someI8 due to masking the RHS as 8 & 7 = 0 (3 bits) (v0.17.0⁠)
  • Bug fix of relational string comparisons when sizes differ (v0.17.8⁠)
