AssemblyScript API

Reading time: 20 min

Esta página documenta qué API integradas se pueden usar al escribir mappings de subgrafos. Hay dos tipos de API disponibles listas para usar:

• the Graph TypeScript library (graph-ts) and
• code generated from subgraph files by graph codegen.

It is also possible to add other libraries as dependencies, as long as they are compatible with AssemblyScript. Since this is the language mappings are written in, the AssemblyScript wiki is a good source for language and standard library features.

The @graphprotocol/graph-ts library provides the following APIs:

• An ethereum API for working with Ethereum smart contracts, events, blocks, transactions, and Ethereum values.
• A store API to load and save entities from and to the Graph Node store.
• A log API to log messages to the Graph Node output and the Graph Explorer.
• An ipfs API to load files from IPFS.
• A json API to parse JSON data.
• A crypto API to use cryptographic functions.
• Primitivas de bajo nivel para traducir entre los distintos tipos de sistemas, tales como, Ethereum, JSON, GraphQL y AssemblyScript.

The apiVersion in the subgraph manifest specifies the mapping API version which is run by Graph Node for a given subgraph.

Documentation on the base types built into AssemblyScript can be found in the AssemblyScript wiki.

The following additional types are provided by @graphprotocol/graph-ts.

import { ByteArray } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

ByteArray represents an array of u8.

Construction

• fromI32(x: i32): ByteArray - Decomposes x into bytes.
• fromHexString(hex: string): ByteArray - Input length must be even. Prefixing with 0x is optional.

Type conversions

• toHexString(): string - Converts to a hex string prefixed with 0x.
• toString(): string - Interprets the bytes as a UTF-8 string.
• toBase58(): string - Encodes the bytes into a base58 string.
• toU32(): u32 - Interprets the bytes as a little-endian u32. Throws in case of overflow.
• toI32(): i32 - Interprets the byte array as a little-endian i32. Throws in case of overflow.

Operators

• equals(y: ByteArray): bool – can be written as x == y.
• concat(other: ByteArray) : ByteArray - return a new ByteArray consisting of this directly followed by other
• concatI32(other: i32) : ByteArray - return a new ByteArray consisting of this directly followed by the byte representation of other

import { BigDecimal } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

BigDecimal is used to represent arbitrary precision decimals.

Construction

• constructor(bigInt: BigInt) – creates a BigDecimal from an BigInt.
• static fromString(s: string): BigDecimal – parses from a decimal string.

Type conversions

• toString(): string – prints to a decimal string.

Math

• plus(y: BigDecimal): BigDecimal – can be written as x + y.
• minus(y: BigDecimal): BigDecimal – can be written as x - y.
• times(y: BigDecimal): BigDecimal – can be written as x * y.
• div(y: BigDecimal): BigDecimal – can be written as x / y.
• equals(y: BigDecimal): bool – can be written as x == y.
• notEqual(y: BigDecimal): bool – can be written as x != y.
• lt(y: BigDecimal): bool – can be written as x < y.
• le(y: BigDecimal): bool – can be written as x <= y.
• gt(y: BigDecimal): bool – can be written as x > y.
• ge(y: BigDecimal): bool – can be written as x >= y.
• neg(): BigDecimal - can be written as -x.

import { BigInt } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

BigInt is used to represent big integers. This includes Ethereum values of type uint32 to uint256 and int64 to int256. Everything below uint32, such as int32, uint24 or int8 is represented as i32.

The BigInt class has the following API:

Construction

• BigInt.fromI32(x: i32): BigInt – creates a BigInt from an i32.

• BigInt.fromString(s: string): BigInt– Parses a BigInt from a string.

• BigInt.fromUnsignedBytes(x: Bytes): BigInt – Interprets bytes as an unsigned, little-endian integer. If your input is big-endian, call .reverse() first.

• BigInt.fromSignedBytes(x: Bytes): BigInt – Interprets bytes as a signed, little-endian integer. If your input is big-endian, call .reverse() first.

  Type conversions

• x.toHex(): string – turns BigInt into a string of hexadecimal characters.

• x.toString(): string – turns BigInt into a decimal number string.

• x.toI32(): i32 – returns the BigInt as an i32; fails if the value does not fit into i32. It's a good idea to first check x.isI32().

• x.toBigDecimal(): BigDecimal - converts into a decimal with no fractional part.

Math

• x.plus(y: BigInt): BigInt – can be written as x + y.
• x.minus(y: BigInt): BigInt – can be written as x - y.
• x.times(y: BigInt): BigInt – can be written as x * y.
• x.div(y: BigInt): BigInt – can be written as x / y.
• x.mod(y: BigInt): BigInt – can be written as x % y.
• x.equals(y: BigInt): bool – can be written as x == y.
• x.notEqual(y: BigInt): bool – can be written as x != y.
• x.lt(y: BigInt): bool – can be written as x < y.
• x.le(y: BigInt): bool – can be written as x <= y.
• x.gt(y: BigInt): bool – can be written as x > y.
• x.ge(y: BigInt): bool – can be written as x >= y.
• x.neg(): BigInt – can be written as -x.
• x.divDecimal(y: BigDecimal): BigDecimal – divides by a decimal, giving a decimal result.
• x.isZero(): bool – Convenience for checking if the number is zero.
• x.isI32(): bool – Check if the number fits in an i32.
• x.abs(): BigInt – Absolute value.
• x.pow(exp: u8): BigInt – Exponentiation.
• bitOr(x: BigInt, y: BigInt): BigInt – can be written as x | y.
• bitAnd(x: BigInt, y: BigInt): BigInt – can be written as x & y.
• leftShift(x: BigInt, bits: u8): BigInt – can be written as x << y.
• rightShift(x: BigInt, bits: u8): BigInt – can be written as x >> y.

import { TypedMap } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

TypedMap can be used to store key-value pairs. See this example.

The TypedMap class has the following API:

• new TypedMap<K, V>() – creates an empty map with keys of type K and values of type V
• map.set(key: K, value: V): void – sets the value of key to value
• map.getEntry(key: K): TypedMapEntry<K, V> | null – returns the key-value pair for a key or null if the key does not exist in the map
• map.get(key: K): V | null – returns the value for a key or null if the key does not exist in the map
• map.isSet(key: K): bool – returns true if the key exists in the map and false if it does not

import { Bytes } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

Bytes is used to represent arbitrary-length arrays of bytes. This includes Ethereum values of type bytes, bytes32, etc.

The Bytes class extends AssemblyScript's Uint8Array and this supports all the Uint8Array functionality, plus the following new methods:

Construction

• fromHexString(hex: string) : Bytes - Convert the string hex which must consist of an even number of hexadecimal digits to a ByteArray. The string hex can optionally start with 0x
• fromI32(i: i32) : Bytes - Convert i to an array of bytes

Type conversions

• b.toHex() – returns a hexadecimal string representing the bytes in the array
• b.toString() – converts the bytes in the array to a string of unicode characters
• b.toBase58() – turns an Ethereum Bytes value to base58 encoding (used for IPFS hashes)

Operators

• b.concat(other: Bytes) : Bytes - - return new Bytes consisting of this directly followed by other
• b.concatI32(other: i32) : ByteArray - return new Bytes consisting of this directly follow by the byte representation of other

import { Address } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

Address extends Bytes to represent Ethereum address values.

It adds the following method on top of the Bytes API:

• Address.fromString(s: string): Address – creates an Address from a hexadecimal string
• Address.fromBytes(b: Bytes): Address – create an Address from b which must be exactly 20 bytes long. Passing in a value with fewer or more bytes will result in an error

import { store } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

The store API allows to load, save and remove entities from and to the Graph Node store.

Entities written to the store map one-to-one to the @entity types defined in the subgraph's GraphQL schema. To make working with these entities convenient, the graph codegen command provided by the Graph CLI generates entity classes, which are subclasses of the built-in Entity type, with property getters and setters for the fields in the schema as well as methods to load and save these entities.

El siguiente es un patrón común para crear entidades a partir de eventos de Ethereum.

// Import the Transfer event class generated from the ERC20 ABI
import { Transfer as TransferEvent } from '../generated/ERC20/ERC20'

// Import the Transfer entity type generated from the GraphQL schema
import { Transfer } from '../generated/schema'

// Transfer event handler
export function handleTransfer(event: TransferEvent): void {
  // Create a Transfer entity, using the transaction hash as the entity ID
  let id = event.transaction.hash
  let transfer = new Transfer(id)

  // Set properties on the entity, using the event parameters
  transfer.from = event.params.from
  transfer.to = event.params.to
  transfer.amount = event.params.amount

  // Save the entity to the store
  transfer.save()
}

When a Transfer event is encountered while processing the chain, it is passed to the handleTransfer event handler using the generated Transfer type (aliased to TransferEvent here to avoid a naming conflict with the entity type). This type allows accessing data such as the event's parent transaction and its parameters.

Cada entidad debe tener un identificador único para evitar colisiones con otras entidades. Es bastante común que los parámetros de los eventos incluyan un identificador único que pueda ser utilizado. Nota: El uso del hash de la transacción como ID asume que ningún otro evento en la misma transacción crea entidades con este hash como ID.

Si una entidad ya existe, se puede cargar desde el store con lo siguiente:

let id = event.transaction.hash // or however the ID is constructed
let transfer = Transfer.load(id)
if (transfer == null) {
  transfer = new Transfer(id)
}

// Use the Transfer entity as before

As the entity may not exist in the store yet, the load method returns a value of type Transfer | null. It may thus be necessary to check for the null case before using the value.

As of graph-node v0.31.0, @graphprotocol/graph-ts v0.30.0 and @graphprotocol/graph-cli v0.49.0 the loadInBlock method is available on all entity types.

La API de almacenamiento facilita la recuperación de entidades que se crearon o actualizaron en el bloque actual. Una situación típica para esto es cuando un handler crea una Transacción a partir de algún evento en la cadena, y un handler posterior quiere acceder a esta transacción si existe. En el caso de que la transacción no exista, el subgrafo tendrá que ir a la base de datos solo para averiguar que la entidad no existe; si el autor del subgrafo ya sabe que la entidad debe haber sido creada en el mismo bloque, el uso de loadInBlock evita este viaje de ida y vuelta a la base de datos. Para algunos subgrafos, estas búsquedas perdidas pueden contribuir significativamente al tiempo de indexación.

let id = event.transaction.hash // or however the ID is constructed
let transfer = Transfer.load(id)
if (transfer == null) {
  transfer = new Transfer(id)
}

// Usa la identidad de transferencia como se indica arriba

As of graph-node v0.31.0, @graphprotocol/graph-ts v0.31.0 and @graphprotocol/graph-cli v0.51.0 the loadRelated method is available.

This enables loading derived entity fields from within an event handler. For example, given the following schema:

type Token @entity {
  id: ID!
  holder: Holder!
  color: String
}

type Holder @entity {
  id: ID!
  tokens: [Token!]! @derivedFrom(field: "holder")
}

The following code will load the Token entity that the Holder entity was derived from:

let holder = Holder.load('test-id')
// Load the Token entities associated with a given holder
let tokens = holder.tokens.load()

Hay dos maneras de actualizar una entidad existente:

1. Load the entity with e.g. Transfer.load(id), set properties on the entity, then .save() it back to the store.
2. Simply create the entity with e.g. new Transfer(id), set properties on the entity, then .save() it to the store. If the entity already exists, the changes are merged into it.

Cambiar las propiedades es sencillo en la mayoría de los casos, gracias a los definidores de propiedades generados:

let transfer = new Transfer(id)
transfer.from = ...
transfer.to = ...
transfer.amount = ...

También es posible desajustar las propiedades con una de las dos instrucciones siguientes:

transfer.from.unset()
transfer.from = null

This only works with optional properties, i.e. properties that are declared without a ! in GraphQL. Two examples would be owner: Bytes or amount: BigInt.

Updating array properties is a little more involved, as the getting an array from an entity creates a copy of that array. This means array properties have to be set again explicitly after changing the array. The following assumes entity has a numbers: [BigInt!]! field.

// This won't work
entity.numbers.push(BigInt.fromI32(1))
entity.save()

// This will work
let numbers = entity.numbers
numbers.push(BigInt.fromI32(1))
entity.numbers = numbers
entity.save()

There is currently no way to remove an entity via the generated types. Instead, removing an entity requires passing the name of the entity type and the entity ID to store.remove:

import { store } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'
...
let id = event.transaction.hash
store.remove('Transfer', id)

La API de Ethereum proporciona acceso a los contratos inteligentes, a las variables de estado públicas, a las funciones de los contratos, a los eventos, a las transacciones, a los bloques y a la codificación/decodificación de los datos de Ethereum.

As with entities, graph codegen generates classes for all smart contracts and events used in a subgraph. For this, the contract ABIs need to be part of the data source in the subgraph manifest. Typically, the ABI files are stored in an abis/ folder.

With the generated classes, conversions between Ethereum types and the built-in types take place behind the scenes so that subgraph authors do not have to worry about them.

El siguiente ejemplo lo ilustra. Dado un esquema de subgrafos como

type Transfer @entity {
  id: Bytes!
  from: Bytes!
  to: Bytes!
  amount: BigInt!
}

and a Transfer(address,address,uint256) event signature on Ethereum, the from, to and amount values of type address, address and uint256 are converted to Address and BigInt, allowing them to be passed on to the Bytes! and BigInt! properties of the Transfer entity:

let id = event.transaction.hash
let transfer = new Transfer(id)
transfer.from = event.params.from
transfer.to = event.params.to
transfer.amount = event.params.amount
transfer.save()

Ethereum events passed to event handlers, such as the Transfer event in the previous examples, not only provide access to the event parameters but also to their parent transaction and the block they are part of. The following data can be obtained from event instances (these classes are a part of the ethereum module in graph-ts):

class Event {
  address: Address
  logIndex: BigInt
  transactionLogIndex: BigInt
  logType: string | null
  block: Block
  transaction: Transaction
  parameters: Array<EventParam>
  receipt: TransactionReceipt | null
}

class Block {
  hash: Bytes
  parentHash: Bytes
  unclesHash: Bytes
  author: Address
  stateRoot: Bytes
  transactionsRoot: Bytes
  receiptsRoot: Bytes
  number: BigInt
  gasUsed: BigInt
  gasLimit: BigInt
  timestamp: BigInt
  difficulty: BigInt
  totalDifficulty: BigInt
  size: BigInt | null
  baseFeePerGas: BigInt | null
}

class Transaction {
  hash: Bytes
  index: BigInt
  from: Address
  to: Address | null
  value: BigInt
  gasLimit: BigInt
  gasPrice: BigInt
  input: Bytes
  nonce: BigInt
}

class TransactionReceipt {
  transactionHash: Bytes
  transactionIndex: BigInt
  blockHash: Bytes
  blockNumber: BigInt
  cumulativeGasUsed: BigInt
  gasUsed: BigInt
  contractAddress: Address
  logs: Array<Log>
  status: BigInt
  root: Bytes
  logsBloom: Bytes
}

class Log {
  address: Address
  topics: Array<Bytes>
  data: Bytes
  blockHash: Bytes
  blockNumber: Bytes
  transactionHash: Bytes
  transactionIndex: BigInt
  logIndex: BigInt
  transactionLogIndex: BigInt
  logType: string
  removed: bool | null
}

The code generated by graph codegen also includes classes for the smart contracts used in the subgraph. These can be used to access public state variables and call functions of the contract at the current block.

Un patrón común es acceder al contrato desde el que se origina un evento. Esto se consigue con el siguiente código:

// Import the generated contract class and generated Transfer event class
import { ERC20Contract, Transfer as TransferEvent } from '../generated/ERC20Contract/ERC20Contract'
// Import the generated entity class
import { Transfer } from '../generated/schema'

export function handleTransfer(event: TransferEvent) {
  // Bind the contract to the address that emitted the event
  let contract = ERC20Contract.bind(event.address)

  // Access state variables and functions by calling them
  let erc20Symbol = contract.symbol()
}

Transfer is aliased to TransferEvent here to avoid a naming conflict with the entity type

As long as the ERC20Contract on Ethereum has a public read-only function called symbol, it can be called with .symbol(). For public state variables a method with the same name is created automatically.

Cualquier otro contrato que forme parte del subgrafo puede ser importado desde el código generado y puede ser vinculado a una dirección válida.

If the read-only methods of your contract may revert, then you should handle that by calling the generated contract method prefixed with try_. For example, the Gravity contract exposes the gravatarToOwner method. This code would be able to handle a revert in that method:

let gravity = Gravity.bind(event.address)
let callResult = gravity.try_gravatarToOwner(gravatar)
if (callResult.reverted) {
  log.info('getGravatar reverted', [])
} else {
  let owner = callResult.value
}

Ten en cuenta que un nodo Graph conectado a un cliente Geth o Infura puede no detectar todas las reversiones, si confías en esto te recomendamos que utilices un nodo Graph conectado a un cliente Parity.

Data can be encoded and decoded according to Ethereum's ABI encoding format using the encode and decode functions in the ethereum module.

import { Address, BigInt, ethereum } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

let tupleArray: Array<ethereum.Value> = [
  ethereum.Value.fromAddress(Address.fromString('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000420')),
  ethereum.Value.fromUnsignedBigInt(BigInt.fromI32(62)),
]

let tuple = tupleArray as ethereum.Tuple

let encoded = ethereum.encode(ethereum.Value.fromTuple(tuple))!

let decoded = ethereum.decode('(address,uint256)', encoded)

• More complex example.

import { log } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

The log API allows subgraphs to log information to the Graph Node standard output as well as the Graph Explorer. Messages can be logged using different log levels. A basic format string syntax is provided to compose log messages from argument.

The log API includes the following functions:

• log.debug(fmt: string, args: Array<string>): void - logs a debug message.
• log.info(fmt: string, args: Array<string>): void - logs an informational message.
• log.warning(fmt: string, args: Array<string>): void - logs a warning.
• log.error(fmt: string, args: Array<string>): void - logs an error message.
• log.critical(fmt: string, args: Array<string>): void – logs a critical message and terminates the subgraph.

The log API takes a format string and an array of string values. It then replaces placeholders with the string values from the array. The first {} placeholder gets replaced by the first value in the array, the second {} placeholder gets replaced by the second value and so on.

log.info('Message to be displayed: {}, {}, {}', [value.toString(), anotherValue.toString(), 'already a string'])

In the example below, the string value "A" is passed into an array to become['A'] before being logged:

let myValue = 'A'

export function handleSomeEvent(event: SomeEvent): void {
  // Displays : "My value is: A"
  log.info('My value is: {}', [myValue])
}

En el ejemplo siguiente, sólo se registra el primer valor de la matriz de argumentos, a pesar de que la matriz contiene tres valores.

let myArray = ['A', 'B', 'C']

export function handleSomeEvent(event: SomeEvent): void {
  // Displays : "My value is: A"  (Even though three values are passed to `log.info`)
  log.info('My value is: {}', myArray)
}

Each entry in the arguments array requires its own placeholder {} in the log message string. The below example contains three placeholders {} in the log message. Because of this, all three values in myArray are logged.

let myArray = ['A', 'B', 'C']

export function handleSomeEvent(event: SomeEvent): void {
  // Displays : "My first value is: A, second value is: B, third value is: C"
  log.info('My first value is: {}, second value is: {}, third value is: {}', myArray)
}

Para mostrar un valor específico en el array, se debe proporcionar el valor indexado.

export function handleSomeEvent(event: SomeEvent): void {
  // Displays : "My third value is C"
  log.info('My third value is: {}', [myArray[2]])
}

El ejemplo siguiente registra el número de bloque, el hash del bloque y el hash de la transacción de un evento:

import { log } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

export function handleSomeEvent(event: SomeEvent): void {
  log.debug('Block number: {}, block hash: {}, transaction hash: {}', [
    event.block.number.toString(), // "47596000"
    event.block.hash.toHexString(), // "0x..."
    event.transaction.hash.toHexString(), // "0x..."
  ])
}

import { ipfs } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

Smart contracts occasionally anchor IPFS files on chain. This allows mappings to obtain the IPFS hashes from the contract and read the corresponding files from IPFS. The file data will be returned as Bytes, which usually requires further processing, e.g. with the json API documented later on this page.

Dado un hash o ruta de IPFS, la lectura de un archivo desde IPFS se realiza de la siguiente manera:

// Colocar esto dentro del gestor de eventos del mapeo
let hash = 'QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsNTn2aDxdXBFca7D'
let data = ipfs.cat(hash)

// Rutas como `QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsNTn2aDxdXBFca7D/Makefile`
// que incluye documentos en directorios que son soportados
let path = 'QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsNTn2aDxdXBFca7D/Makefile'
let data = ipfs.cat(path)

Note: ipfs.cat is not deterministic at the moment. If the file cannot be retrieved over the IPFS network before the request times out, it will return null. Due to this, it's always worth checking the result for null.

It is also possible to process larger files in a streaming fashion with ipfs.map. The function expects the hash or path for an IPFS file, the name of a callback, and flags to modify its behavior:

import { JSONValue, Value } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

export function processItem(value: JSONValue, userData: Value): void {
  // See the JSONValue documentation for details on dealing
  // with JSON values
  let obj = value.toObject()
  let id = obj.get('id')
  let title = obj.get('title')

  if (!id || !title) {
    return
  }

  // Callbacks can also created entities
  let newItem = new Item(id)
  newItem.title = title.toString()
  newitem.parent = userData.toString() // Set parent to "parentId"
  newitem.save()
}

// Put this inside an event handler in the mapping
ipfs.map('Qm...', 'processItem', Value.fromString('parentId'), ['json'])

// Alternatively, use `ipfs.mapJSON`
ipfs.mapJSON('Qm...', 'processItem', Value.fromString('parentId'))

The only flag currently supported is json, which must be passed to ipfs.map. With the json flag, the IPFS file must consist of a series of JSON values, one value per line. The call to ipfs.map will read each line in the file, deserialize it into a JSONValue and call the callback for each of them. The callback can then use entity operations to store data from the JSONValue. Entity changes are stored only when the handler that called ipfs.map finishes successfully; in the meantime, they are kept in memory, and the size of the file that ipfs.map can process is therefore limited.

On success, ipfs.map returns void. If any invocation of the callback causes an error, the handler that invoked ipfs.map is aborted, and the subgraph is marked as failed.

import { crypto } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

The crypto API makes a cryptographic functions available for use in mappings. Right now, there is only one:

• crypto.keccak256(input: ByteArray): ByteArray

import { json, JSONValueKind } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

JSON data can be parsed using the json API:

• json.fromBytes(data: Bytes): JSONValue – parses JSON data from a Bytes array interpreted as a valid UTF-8 sequence
• json.try_fromBytes(data: Bytes): Result<JSONValue, boolean> – safe version of json.fromBytes, it returns an error variant if the parsing failed
• json.fromString(data: string): JSONValue – parses JSON data from a valid UTF-8 String
• json.try_fromString(data: string): Result<JSONValue, boolean> – safe version of json.fromString, it returns an error variant if the parsing failed

The JSONValue class provides a way to pull values out of an arbitrary JSON document. Since JSON values can be booleans, numbers, arrays and more, JSONValue comes with a kind property to check the type of a value:

let value = json.fromBytes(...)
if (value.kind == JSONValueKind.BOOL) {
  ...
}

In addition, there is a method to check if the value is null:

• value.isNull(): boolean

When the type of a value is certain, it can be converted to a built-in type using one of the following methods:

• value.toBool(): boolean
• value.toI64(): i64
• value.toF64(): f64
• value.toBigInt(): BigInt
• value.toString(): string
• value.toArray(): Array<JSONValue> - (and then convert JSONValue with one of the 5 methods above)

You can inspect the contract address, network and context of the data source that invoked the handler through the dataSource namespace:

• dataSource.address(): Address
• dataSource.network(): string
• dataSource.context(): DataSourceContext

The base Entity class and the child DataSourceContext class have helpers to dynamically set and get fields:

• setString(key: string, value: string): void
• setI32(key: string, value: i32): void
• setBigInt(key: string, value: BigInt): void
• setBytes(key: string, value: Bytes): void
• setBoolean(key: string, value: bool): void
• setBigDecimal(key, value: BigDecimal): void
• getString(key: string): string
• getI32(key: string): i32
• getBigInt(key: string): BigInt
• getBytes(key: string): Bytes
• getBoolean(key: string): boolean
• getBigDecimal(key: string): BigDecimal

The context section within dataSources allows you to define key-value pairs that are accessible within your subgraph mappings. The available types are Bool, String, Int, Int8, BigDecimal, Bytes, List, and BigInt.

Here is a YAML example illustrating the usage of various types in the context section:

dataSources:
  - kind: ethereum/contract
    name: ContractName
    network: mainnet
    context:
      bool_example:
        type: Bool
        data: true
      string_example:
        type: String
        data: 'hello'
      int_example:
        type: Int
        data: 42
      int8_example:
        type: Int8
        data: 127
      big_decimal_example:
        type: BigDecimal
        data: '10.99'
      bytes_example:
        type: Bytes
        data: '0x68656c6c6f'
      list_example:
        type: List
        data:
          - type: Int
            data: 1
          - type: Int
            data: 2
          - type: Int
            data: 3
      big_int_example:
        type: BigInt
        data: '1000000000000000000000000'

• Bool: Specifies a Boolean value (true or false).
• String: Specifies a String value.
• Int: Specifies a 32-bit integer.
• Int8: Specifies an 8-bit integer.
• BigDecimal: Specifies a decimal number. Must be quoted.
• Bytes: Specifies a hexadecimal string.
• List: Specifies a list of items. Each item needs to specify its type and data.
• BigInt: Specifies a large integer value. Must be quoted due to its large size.

This context is then accessible in your subgraph mapping files, enabling more dynamic and configurable subgraphs.
