用嫁接替换合约并保持合约的历史

Reading time: 8 min

在本指南中，您将学习如何通过嫁接现有的子图来构建和部署新的子图。

嫁接重用现有子图中的数据，并开始在稍后的区块中对其进行索引。这在开发过程中非常有用，可以快速克服映射中的简单错误，或者在现有子图失败后暂时使其重新工作。此外，当向子图添加特性时可以使用它，因为从头开始索引需要很长时间。

嫁接子图可以使用一个 GraphQL 模式 schema，该模式与基子图之一不同，但仅与基子图兼容。它本身必须是一个有效的子图模式，但是可以通过以下方式偏离基子图的模式：

• 它添加或删除实体类型
• 它从实体类型中删除属性
• 它将可为空的属性添加到实体类型
• 它将不可为空的属性转换为可空的属性
• 它将值添加到枚举类型中
• 它添加或删除接口
• 它改变了实现接口的实体类型

• 嫁接

在本教程中，我们将介绍一个基本用例。我们将用一个相同的合约(用一个新的地址，但相同的代码) 替换现有的合约。然后，将现有的子图移植到跟踪新合约的基本子图上。

Grafting is a powerful feature that allows you to "graft" one subgraph onto another, effectively transferring historical data from the existing subgraph to a new version. While this is an effective way to preserve data and save time on indexing, grafting may introduce complexities and potential issues when migrating from a hosted environment to the decentralized network. It is not possible to graft a subgraph from The Graph Network back to the hosted service or Subgraph Studio.

Initial Migration: when you first deploy your subgraph to the decentralized network, do so without grafting. Ensure that the subgraph is stable and functioning as expected.

Subsequent Updates: once your subgraph is live and stable on the decentralized network, you may use grafting for future versions to make the transition smoother and to preserve historical data.

By adhering to these guidelines, you minimize risks and ensure a smoother migration process.

Building subgraphs is an essential part of The Graph, described more in depth here. To be able to build and deploy the existing subgraph used in this tutorial, the following repo is provided:

• 子图示例存储库

子图诠释了subgraph.yaml标识子图的数据源、感兴趣的触发器以及应该响应这些触发器而运行的函数。下面是您将使用的子图清单示例:

specVersion: 0.0.4
schema:
  file: ./schema.graphql
dataSources:
  - kind: ethereum
    name: Lock
    network: sepolia
    source:
      address: '0xb3aabe721794b85fe4e72134795c2f93b4eb7e63'
      abi: Lock
      startBlock: 5955690
    mapping:
      kind: ethereum/events
      apiVersion: 0.0.6
      language: wasm/assemblyscript
      entities:
        - Withdrawal
      abis:
        - name: Lock
          file: ./abis/Lock.json
      eventHandlers:
        - event: Withdrawal(uint256,uint256)
          handler: handleWithdrawal
      file: ./src/lock.ts

• Lock数据源是我们在编译和部署合约时获得的abi和合约地址
• The network should correspond to a indexed network being queried. Since we're running on Sepolia testnet, the network is sepolia
• mapping部分定义了感兴趣的触发器以及应该响应这些触发器而运行的函数。在这种情况下，我们正在监听Withdrawl事件，并在发出该事件时调用处理Withdrawal函数。

嫁接需要在原始子图清单中添加两个新项:

---
features:
  - grafting # feature name
graft:
  base: Qm... # subgraph ID of base subgraph
  block: 5956000 # block number

• features: is a list of all used feature names.
• graft：是base子图和要嫁接到的模块的映射。block是开始索引的区块号。Graph将把基本子图的数据复制到给定的区块并将其包括在内，然后从该区块开始继续索引新的子图。

通过部署两个子图可以找到base和block值：一个用于基索引，一个用于嫁接

1. Go to Subgraph Studio and create a subgraph on Sepolia testnet called graft-example
2. 按照存储库中graft-example文件夹中子图页面的 AUTH& DEPLOY 部分中的说明操作
3. 完成后，验证子图是否正确索引。如果在Graph Playground中运行下列指令。

{
  withdrawals(first: 5) {
    id
    amount
    when
  }
}

它返回的结果是这样的:

{
  "data": {
    "withdrawals": [
      {
        "id": "0xe8323d21c4f104607b10b0fff9fc24b9612b9488795dea8196b2d5f980d3dc1d0a000000",
        "amount": "0",
        "when": "1716394824"
      },
      {
        "id": "0xea1cee35036f2cacb72f2a336be3e54ab911f5bebd58f23400ebb8ecc5cfc45203000000",
        "amount": "0",
        "when": "1716394848"
      }
    ]
  }
}

一旦您验证了子图是正确的索引，您可以快速更新子图与嫁接。

嫁接替代Subgraph.yaml将获得一个新的合约地址。这可能发生在更新dapp、重新部署合约等时。

1. Go to Subgraph Studio and create a subgraph on Sepolia testnet called graft-replacement
2. Create a new manifest. The subgraph.yaml for graph-replacement contains a different contract address and new information about how it should graft. These are the block of the last event emitted you care about by the old contract and the base of the old subgraph. The base subgraph ID is the Deployment ID of your original graph-example subgraph. You can find this in Subgraph Studio.
3. 按照存储库中的graft-replacement文件夹中子图页面上的 AUTH& DEPLOY 部分的说明操作。
4. 完成后，验证子图是否正确索引。如果在Graph Playground中运行下列指令。

{
  withdrawals(first: 5) {
    id
    amount
    when
  }
}

它返回的结果是这样的:

{
  "data": {
    "withdrawals": [
      {
        "id": "0xe8323d21c4f104607b10b0fff9fc24b9612b9488795dea8196b2d5f980d3dc1d0a000000",
        "amount": "0",
        "when": "1716394824"
      },
      {
        "id": "0xea1cee35036f2cacb72f2a336be3e54ab911f5bebd58f23400ebb8ecc5cfc45203000000",
        "amount": "0",
        "when": "1716394848"
      },
      {
        "id": "0x2410475f76a44754bae66d293d14eac34f98ec03a3689cbbb56a716d20b209af06000000",
        "amount": "0",
        "when": "1716429732"
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can see that the graft-replacement subgraph is indexing from older graph-example data and newer data from the new contract address. The original contract emitted two Withdrawal events, Event 1 and Event 2. The new contract emitted one Withdrawal after, Event 3. The two previously indexed transactions (Event 1 and 2) and the new transaction (Event 3) were combined together in the graft-replacement subgraph.

Congrats! You have successfully grafted a subgraph onto another subgraph.
