build

This command is uses webpack to generate a bundle of a subquery project.

| Options | 설명 | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ---- | ----------------------- | | -l, --location | local folder of subquery project (if not in folder already) | | -o, --output | specify output folder of build e.g. build-folder | | --mode=(production | prod | development | dev) | [ default: production ] |

  • With subql build you can specify additional entry points in exports field although it will always build index.ts automatically.

  • You need to have @subql/cli v0.19.0 or above to use exports field.

  • Any exports field must map to string type (e.g. "entry": "./src/file.ts"), else it will be ignored from build.

Futher example.

--version

This displays the current version.

> subql-node --version
0.19.1

reindex

In order to use this command, you require `@subql/node:v1.10.0`/`@subql/node-YOURNETWORK:v1.10.0` or above. :::

When using reindex command, historical must be enabled for the targeted project (--disable-historical=false). After starting the project, it would print out a log stating if historical is enabled or not.

Further information on Automated Historical State Tracking

Use --targetHeight=<blockNumber> with reindex to remove indexed data and reindex from specified block height.

-f or --subquery flag must be passed in, to set path of the targeted project.

If the targetHeight is less than the declared starting height, it will execute the --force-clean command.

subql-node -f /example/subql-project reindex --targetHeight=30

Note

Once the command is executed and the state has been rolled back the the specified height, the application will exit. You can then start up the indexer to proceed again from this height.

force-clean

  • In order to use this command you need to have @subql/node v1.10.0 or above.

This command forces the project schemas and tables to be regenerated. It is helpful to use when iteratively developing graphql schemas in order to ensure a clean state when starting a project. Note that this flag will also wipe all indexed data. This will also drop all related schema and tables of the project.

-f, --subquery flag must be passed in, to set path of the targeted project.

Note Similar to `reindex` command, the application would exit upon completion. :::

subql-node -f /example/subql-project force-clean

-f, --subquery

Use this flag to start the SubQuery project.

subql-node -f . // OR
subql-node --subquery .

--subquery-name (deprecated)

This flag allows you to provide a name for your project which acts as if it creates an instance of your project. Upon providing a new name, a new database schema is created and block synchronisation starts from zero. Deprecated in favour of --db-schema

subql-node -f . --subquery-name=test2

-c, --config

All these various configurations can be placed into a .yml or .json file and then referenced with the config flag.

Sample subquery_config.yml file:

subquery: . // Mandatory. This is the local path of the project. The period here means the current local directory.
subqueryName: hello // Optional name
batchSize: 55 // Optional config

Place this file in the same directory as the project. Then in the current project directory, run:

> subql-node -c ./subquery_config.yml

--local (deprecated)

This flag is primarily used for debugging purposes where it creates the default starter_entity table in the default "postgres" schema.

subql-node -f . --local

Note that once you use this flag, removing it won't mean that it will point to another database. To repoint to another database you will have to create a NEW database and change the env settings to this new database. In other words, "export DB_DATABASE=<new_db_here>".

--db-schema

This flag allows you to provide a name for the project database schema. Upon providing a new name, a new database schema is created with the configured name and block indexing starts.

subql-node -f . --db-schema=test2

--subscription

This will create a notification trigger on entity, this also is the prerequisite to enable subscription feature in query service.

--unsafe

SubQuery Projects are usually run in a javascript sandbox for security to limit the scope of access the project has to your system. The sandbox limits the available javascript imports to the following modules:

["assert", "buffer", "crypto", "util", "path"];

Although this enhances security we understand that this limits the available functionality of your SubQuery. The --unsafe command imports all default javascript modules which greatly increases sandbox functionality with the tradeoff of decreased security.

Note that the --unsafe command will prevent your project from being run in the SubQuery Network, and you must contact support if you want this command to be run with your project in SubQuery's Managed Serviceopen in new window.

--batch-size

This flag allows you to set the batch size in the command line. If batch size is also set in the config file, this takes precedent.

> subql-node -f . --batch-size=20
2021-08-09T23:24:43.775Z <fetch> INFO fetch block [6601,6620], total 20 blocks
2021-08-09T23:24:45.606Z <fetch> INFO fetch block [6621,6640], total 20 blocks
2021-08-09T23:24:47.415Z <fetch> INFO fetch block [6641,6660], total 20 blocks
2021-08-09T23:24:49.235Z <fetch> INFO fetch block [6661,6680], total 20 blocks

--scale-batch-size

Scale the block fetch batch size with memory usage.

--timeout

Set custom timeout for the javascript sandbox to execute mapping functions over a block before the block mapping function throws a timeout exception.

--debug

This outputs debug information to the console output and forcefully sets the log level to debug.

> subql-node -f . --debug
2021-08-10T11:45:39.471Z <db> DEBUG Executing (1b0d0c23-d7c7-4adb-a703-e4e5c414e035): INSERT INTO "subquery_1"."starter_entities" ("id","block_height","created_at","updated_at") VALUES ($1,$2,$3,$4) ON CONFLICT ("id") DO UPDATE SET "id"=EXCLUDED."id","block_height"=EXCLUDED."block_height","updated_at"=EXCLUDED."updated_at" RETURNING "id","block_height","created_at","updated_at";

--profiler

This shows profiler information.

subql-node -f . --local --profiler
2021-08-10T10:57:07.234Z <profiler> INFO FetchService, fetchMeta, 3876 ms
2021-08-10T10:57:08.095Z <profiler> INFO FetchService, fetchMeta, 774 ms

2021-08-10T10:57:10.361Z <fetch> INFO fetch block [3801,3900], total 100 blocks

--network-endpoint

This flag allows users to override the network endpoint configuration from the manifest file.

subql-node -f . --network-endpoint="wss://polkadot.api.onfinality.io/public-ws"

Note that this must also be set in the manifest file, otherwise you'll get:

ERROR Create Subquery project from given path failed! Error: failed to parse project.yaml.
An instance of ProjectManifestImpl has failed the validation:
 - property network has failed the following constraints: isObject
 - property network.network has failed the following constraints: nestedValidation

--output-fmt

There are two different terminal output formats. JSON or colored. Colored is the default and contains colored text.

> subql-node -f . --output-fmt=json
{"level":"info","timestamp":"2021-08-10T11:58:18.087Z","pid":24714,"hostname":"P.local","category":"fetch","message":"fetch block [10501,10600], total 100 blocks"}
> subql-node -f . --output-fmt=colored

--log-level

There are 7 options to choose from. “fatal”, “error”, “warn”, “info”, “debug”, “trace”, “silent”. The example below shows silent. Nothing will be printed in the terminal so the only way to tell if the node is working or not is to query the database for row count (select count(*) from subquery_1.starter_entities) or query the block height.

--timestamp-field

By default this is true. when set to false with:

> subql-node -f . –timestamp-field=false

This removes the created_at and updated_at columns in the starter_entities table.

-d, --network-dictionary

This allows you to specify a dictionary endpoint which is a free service that is provided and hosted at SubQuery's Project Exploreropen in new window (search for dictionary) and presents an API endpoint of: https://api.subquery.network/sq/subquery/dictionary-polkadot.

Typically this would be set in your manifest file but below shows an example of using it as an argument in the command line.

subql-node -f . -d "https://api.subquery.network/sq/subquery/dictionary-polkadot"

Read more about how a SubQuery Dictionary works.

-p, --port

The port the subquery indexing service binds to. By default this is set to 3000.

--disable-historical

Disables automated historical state tracking, see Historic State Tracking. By default this is set to false.

-w, --workers

This will move block fetching and processing into a worker. By default, this feature is disabled. You can enable it with the --workers=<number> flag. Note that the number of available CPU cores strictly limits the usage of worker threads. So, when using the --workers=<number> flag, always specify the number of workers. With no flag provided, everything will run in the same thread.

Tip It can increase performance by up to 4 times. Give it a try and let us know your feedback!

It is at an early experimental stage at the moment, but we plan to enable it by default. :::

Note

This feature is available for Substrate and Cosmos, and soon will be integrated for Avalanche.

--version

This displays the current version.

> subql-query --version
0.7.0

-n, --name

This flag is used to start the query service. If the --subquery-name flag is not provided when running an indexer, the name here will refer to the default project name. If --subquery-name is set, then the name here should match what was set.

> subql-node -f . // --subquery-name not set

> subql-query -n subql-helloworld  --playground // the name defaults to the project directory name
> subql-node -f . --subquery-name=hiworld // --subquery-name set

> subql-query -n hiworld --playground  // the name points to the subql-helloworld project but with the name of hiworld

--playground

This flag enables the graphql playground so should always be included by default to be of any use.

--output-fmt

See --output-fmt.

--log-level

See --log-level.

--log-path

Enable file logging by providing a path to a file to log to.

--log-rotate

Enable file log rotations with the options of a 1d rotation interval, a maximum of 7 files and with a max file size of 1GB.

--indexer

Set a custom url for the location of the endpoints of the indexer, the query service uses these endpoints for indexer health, metadata and readiness status.

--subscription

This flag enables GraphQL Subscriptions, to enable this feature requires subql-node also enable --subscription.

--unsafe

The query service has a limit of 100 entities for unbounded graphql queries. The unsafe flag removes this limit which may cause performance issues on the query service. It is recommended instead that queries are paginatedopen in new window.

This flag enables certain aggregation functions including sum, max, avg and others. Read more about this feature here.

These are disabled by default due to the entity limit.

Note that the --unsafe command will prevent your project from being run in the SubQuery Network, and you must contact support if you want this command to be run with your project in SubQuery's Managed Servicesopen in new window.

--port

The port the subquery query service binds to. By default this is set to 3000
